TashThird: TelePort A300 ADB Modem Emulator

Posted by: Tashtari on 2022-11-28 17:02:12 Just a little project, I'm not sure anyone's going to get excited about this one. Introducing... TashThird! (it's a third serial port, get it?) Elevator Pitch It's as faithful an implementation of the Global Village TelePort A300 modem protocol as I can make using what I've found out about the protocol (notes here), linking it to a serial port with flow control lines, capable of a blistering 2400 baud... Project Status Nascent but tested and working. Caveats Emulation is just about as good as it needs to be and no better. I'll improve it if I discover more about the protocol. What's Next A PCB, maybe, if anyone's interested. It'd be neat to make this into a cable with the PCB fitting inside a DE-9 shell...
