Hallo!

Has anybody experiences with nqc for linux on notebooks?

I want to use nqc under linux on a notebook computer. I use a serial
pcmcia card from socket communications. The serial port is configured as
ttyS0 (irq 4 and io-adr. 0x03f8 are configured correct by pcmcia
manager).
The infrared tower is found by nqc, but it does not get a connection to
the rcx.

The batteries of rcx and tower are ok, if I use nqc for win32 under
WINDOWS 2000 over this pcmcia serial port, nqc has no problems to find
the rcx.

The basic settings for this serial port seem to be o.k. under linux, I
can control an external modem with this port and connect to an isp.

Only with nqc it does not work. Perhaps there are some special settings
to do under linux with setserial for this port?

Here is the output from nqc under linux (Dave adviced to add this):

Looks like the data is getting garbled. One guess would be that the port (under Linux) isn't handling odd parity with 8 data bits correctly. Is there any way you could connect this to another computer using a null modem? Preferably, use another (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hallo Dave! Thanks for your respond. I've done your suggestion. I connected two linux computers with a nullmodem cable. On the other computer nqc is working correctly, but it has installed an older version of nqc 2.0.2 (on my notebook runs nqc 2.2., (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
