Getting a Shell prompt with -non- Linux OS ...

Hi !
I would love to get a shell promt to my empeg ...
But as my Linux PC lives in another room to be a file server & firewall, i would love to use my Win98 PC to connect to the empeg :)
SO is there a way of getting a Shell prompt e.g. with Hyperterm ?!
( Well i am seeing the bootup messages, but trying to press Ctrl-C several times failed :(

Please help if possible :)


Thx: Nils

I use Hyperterminal at work, and Connector on my Acorn at home (Hugo will remember those and the serial block drivers.. =)
I'm running the developer image, and just press 'q' then return when the player is active. (The term is set for 115200 8N1 VT100)

Jazz
(List 112, S/N 00030, 4 gig blue)

Ooops ?!
When exactly should i press q ?

I already to press q - return after the message:

Press 'q' now to go into development mode. You Have 1 Second To Comply...


but that had no effect ...

So i also tried q - return when the player was playing music ... no effect ...

Heh :) maybe i am just stupid, but i am still not able to get the prompt.
Please help me out ...

You need the developer image to get a prompt.

Hehe, okay, i proposed that i am stupid, but not THAT stoopid :)

No, seriously, i am using the developer image 6a ...

You must make sure that serial handshaking is OFF: no RTS/CTS.

It could be that your PC is waiting for the empeg to signal it is clear to send, which it won't, so your empeg never sees your input.

Okay okay, forget it, i got it to work ...
I was just too slow, now i managed to press q in time :)

Thanks for your help guys !
