Many thanks for the warm welcome.
I am a MAME newbie who is using MAME to emulate an Apple II+ with a Super Serial Card in slot 2 configured for loopback (-sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 loopback). I was expecting this to return all characters that were sent to the serial port, however, this isn't happening.
If is use a -bitbanger e.g. (-sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 null_modem -bitbanger output.txt, or sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 null_modem -bitbanger socket.127.0.0.1:2023) everything works a treat with, in the latter case, full bi-directional comms.
The full command line I am using is as follows;
./mame64 apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -verbose -window -nomax -sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 loopback -sl3 videoterm -sl4 applicard -flop1 ../TestDisk.po
The sl2 Verbose output is as follows;
...
Starting Apple II Slot ':sl2'
Starting Apple Super Serial Card ':sl2:ssc'
Starting MOS 6551 ACIA ':sl2:ssc:ssc_acia'
Starting Clock ':sl2:ssc:ssc_acia:clock'
Starting RS232 Port ':sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232'
Starting RS232 Loopback ':sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232:loopback'
...
I see no errors reported in the verbose output, what am I missing or misunderstanding?
