Mac-DC Server Help

Post by jebug29 »

Alright, so I've been trying to follow TacT's Mac-DC server guide using my Powerbook G4 with OS X v10.5.8. Since people have had success with this guide, I thought someone might could help.

I get everything up and running good and then when I try to connect my Dreamcast and enter "ata" into the terminal, both Planetweb and Terminal say "NO CARRIER". I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong or what. Anyways, all help will be appreciated. Thanks!

What model modem is on your dreamcast? Is it a model A or model B?
model B modems require a line voltage to work. or use a telephone line simulator.

As far as I know it's a model A, but I'll check again.

Well now... I can't tell. The sticker on the outside says 670-14082A (the one visible from the bottom of the DC) and the one on the inside (er, the part that goes inside the DC anyway) says 670-14140B.

I guess my modem is transgender. XD (okay, bad joke)

I can't find the post that said how to tell if your model is what, so I'm not quite sure.

Well I looked it up. I guess I'm going to have to make/get a line voltage simulator ._.

Ya I forgot which sticker is the model for the modem I forgot theres 2 of them hahah. Its really easy to make a voltage inducer and im sure you can get someone around here to make you one and buy it from them. Better yet See if anyone has a model A Modem they can sell/trade I think I saw a post somewhere ??here it was
