Strippit 1000xp COMM setup

[fixitchris]

Hi. I have an old 1000xp strippit with apple controller. So far we've been using floppies to upload programs. I recently hooked up a RS422 cable to the back of the controller and to a PC (about 150ft length).

Do I need a RS422 to RS232 converter on the PC end?

Has anyone configured serial comm to this machine? There is a COMM application on both ends and it looks like on the controller the COMM app is used to set the settings and then I think I can put the machine in EDIT mode to read the data.

I haven't had any luck so far.

I am in Chicago and anyone local is welcome to stop by the shop.

Thanks
Chris
