Too bad I needed null modem AND m-m gender changer because the usb serial adapter was male, equipment was female, and the null modem was f-f. Hacked something together in each possible config but couldnt get much more than random bytes during the initial hotplug. I the made sure baud etc matched. Might try later with a different serial adapter

Also the dang usb port needs a custom driver

I gave up :•(
