    Default Serial interface I think?

    Hi, Have been playing around with GW. I have an old season interface card, I think, I used to use it with the likes of wallbanger ages ago on the old IRD1 system. Can I use this card to work with GW?

    any tips here or do I need a new season i/f to get it running?

    Old season should work fine
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    sounds like a logger card.

    it probably won't work.

    buy a new season interface from sattronics etc.

    ok. i start the GW server. set up the client as a remote host, connect and can see the card details, then start the client and all it does is say connecting. am i doing something wrong or is it waiting for the season card to talk to the receiver?
    and i used to use it a long time ago with wallbanger and it worked ok in the receiver....

    buy a season interface card, not a logger card.

    or make one with just a max232 chip, 4 x1uf tantalum caps and a 1k resistor....


    then solder straight onto the internal cam smart card socket
