Silversurfer usage guide



The Silversurfer provides full RS232 capabilities and may therefore be used for directly connecting a modem to the port or connect a null-modem cable to another computer.

For those who can not find a decent nullmodem cable, or want to built it themselves for whatever reason, there is some information included on the following pages.

Before we point you to the programs and information files regarding the SilverSurfer, we want you to pay attention to a few third party programs supporting the RetroReplay/SilverSurfer combo.

If you wrote some sort of serial program yourself, please have a close look at Groepaz' instructions.
Applying a patch to your programs will be no deal then.


A nice multiplatform PERL-program was done by Mager Valp -

Serial Slave can be found at http://come.to/life


Nicolas Welte patched -

Novaterm 9.6 and Desterm 128 V3.02


What can you supply ? ... :)



RR.exe - is the most needed supplemental program you will need for future RetroReplay/SilverSurfer games. It already allows you lots of things, which you better explore. :)

BUT, we want you to know that connecting two computers with a cable ALWAYS can be harmful in some way. We recommend you disable all powers before plugging around, to check connections TWICE AND to ask on the MAILINGLIST whenever you are unsure about something !!!

Ok, get all your info in -
