Hi DJ. Thank you so much for putting so much of your time and effort in restoring and enhancing the NABU Network. I have been using the Dtech USB to RS422 adapter without any problems but recently tried using the FTDI USB to Serial converter as outlined in by MyGeekyHobby's in https://youtu.be/NxW2GOw5Mqk. I thought I would create this circuit board as a trial run for developing other interfaces such as a Wifi connection.
Using the FTDI USB to Serial Converter, I was able to load and run NABU Network 1984 Cycle v1 and v2 without issue, but ran into problems when loading Cloud CP/M 2.2 and Slide Show Gallery (wouldn't load). When I look at the messages appearing on the Internet Adapter, it appears the file being loaded to the PC contain odd characters interposed between multiple "/" making the files unloadable. I tried the CTS to RTS jumper suggested in Jamie's Hack Shack https://youtu.be/PtUqpxS8h5c but that made no difference.
I noticed you had replied with a fix to an earlier issue with the FTDI USB adapter. Is there a similar fix needed for Cloud CP/M and Slide Show to work as well? I also tried Chat and it partially loaded, Brick Battle was a no-go. I've verified the connections on my board with a voltmeter (continuity check). It is possible the problem is with my setup, but I thought it was odd that it worked well with the NABU Network Cycles but with nothing else. Do you have any ideas on where I could look to troubleshoot this?
