I've been trying to get my Plus to talk to my iMac via Z-term, a serial cable a gender changer and a usb to serial adapter.
But I can't for the life of me get them to talk to each other, I've got matching settings on both, the Belkin adapter's TX signal lights up when I send a string from the iMac end and the link light flashes on the Belkin adapter when the Plus sends something - but nothing appears on either end.
Midi works fine on the Plus's modem port fine so I don't think there's any issue with the Plus, I've also tried 2 different usb adapters with and without the gender changer and no luck.
I tested continuity on the cable with a multimeter and this is the only pin that doesn't get a signal, does that mean it's faulty?
I've got a few Arduino Nano's floating around so I could probably fashion something with them and a Mini DIN-8 connector, but I'm not sure what the difference between simple RX/TX and the Serial Pin out:
