Qube2 serial console from Quadra 800 (mac68k)

Hi,

I tried, without success, to hook up a Quadra 800 (mac68k,
netbsd  
2.0) to a Qube2 as a serial console, without success.

I used a cable I had from an old modem, with a DB9 end and a
DIN8 end  
to connect the two machines.

I tried printer and modem port, with the following remote
definitions:

qube2:dv=/dev/dty01:br#115200:pa=none:

qube2:dv =/dev/dty01:br#9600:pa=none:dc:

I tried with tty01 also.

I did activate the serial console on the Qube, and went
through  
multiple power cycle.

Anyone has an idea to make this work ? Is it the conf, or is
my cable  
not suitable ?

Regards,

Rémi Zara

You need a cross (null-modem) cable.
See "NetBSD Serial Port Primer" page:

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/Hardware/Misc/serial.html
for details. (though there is no DB9-DIN8 null modem
pinout)
