Anyone in south africa that can send me a working ddata cable? I've spent a week trying to get gkterm to show me data but to no avail. Will pay parts & shipping fees!!!
Hi @MrBlooballs I got the parts for the cable at an electronic shop in Durban but comminica, in Midrand should have the parts too. They have a web site communica.co.za should be able to get supplies from there.
@MXClarke Thanks for the reply mate, in the end what i did was I got a gender changer and connected it to my DIL10 to DB9 addapter ( got one from an ancient PC ). After that I pulled some plugs off a serial port on an old motherboard, stuck that in the other side, and soldered a female DB9 to the plugs. Got it up and working , just waiting for the kernel to finish installing and i'll be on my way! Big thanks for this video and everyone's help!
Sorry to be a bother. Did you have any problems following the "Debian Installer" way that is demonstrated in this video? Or did you install the OS manually?
Thank you for the video on this. Since Intel stopped support on this device and the software was never that great, I have been looking for a replacement OS.
I will give this process a go - hope I do not brick it !

Any chance you could post a step by step tutorial, might be a little easier to follow?
