Using Apple II as a dumb terminal?

[desertrout]

Also, a screen session may not have been properly closed. I have had to open the activity monitor and close screen that way.

I didn't know about closing the screen utility. Unfortunately, there's a problem with my apple, again! It doesn't turn on, and the transistor keeps clicking, I think it's shorted. I'll open a new post for that, but if anyone has any suggestion, I'm all ears.

1. Make sure the jumper is pointing to Terminal and you use a straight through serial cable. Do not use a printer cable or null modem.
2. Make sure the SSC is in slot 1, 2, or 3
3. Make sure the dip switches match the ADT pro instructions
4. You can connect directly from the mac Terminal to test things out:

screen -L /dev/cu.usbserial 300,cs7,cstopb

(replace cu.usbserial with the actual name of your device in the dev folder)

Then, after reset, if you do PR#1 and IN#1 on the apple II, you should be able to send text back and forth.

Ok! I’ve fixed my Apple and this works! It seems though that this uses my Mac to control the Apple, and not the other way around (use the Apple to control the Mac). One of my ideas was to use the Apple to open a terminal software on the Mac through Brew (an image viewer called Chafa) and view it on my Apple Monitor. Is this possible to do?
