Basilisk II serial ports... how?

[Frobozz]

I'm working on a system 6/7 serial tool. I'd like to use Basilisk II for testing. I have most recent versions of BII and BII GUI, but I can't figure out how to get a connection going between the basilisk II emulated mac's serial ports and my modern, host Mac. I've tried various tty paths (eg, "/dev/ttys0") in the modem Port: field, but have never seen one of them show up in /dev/tty* list. Do I need to do something on the unix side, and proactively create some kind of fake serial device (seems wrong, but I know nozzzzhing here). When I plug in a USB serial adapter, I see new tty devices show up, I was expecting same thing when BII starts up. The docs are pretty thin on this.

Did you ever figure this out? I just posted a similar question, and only just now noticed there was a related thread.

Your best bet is to talk to the boys at the emaculation forums.

Will do - the thought occurred to me after I posted here

No matter what I try I can’t get the serial ports to work in Basilisk II however I was able to get them working in SheepShaver when using a USB to serial adapter to my Palm III and eMate. It was just a matter of adding the adapter in Settings.

One thing to check, what are the permissions on the socket(s) in /dev/ ?

And subsequently, is your emulator running as a user with permissions to use them?

ls -l /dev/cu.* to identify the port.
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0x9000001 Jan 08 20:56 /dev/cu.usbserial-10

Then just paste /dev/cu.usbserial-10 into SheepShaver serial port.
