      Is there a physical hardware reset somewhere on the SG-1000? I can't find it.

      Is there a way to get a regular serial console port output from the SG-1000?  I can't get a a host to connect to the SG-1000 microUSB console port.  I've tried Mac, but the Silicon Lab drivers don't load (maybe because I'm use macOS 10.12 Sierra?), I've tried a PC running XP, and a PC running Win 10.

      Without a hardware reset or a working console, I'm afraid I might configure myself into a hole as I experiment with LAN and WAN ip network addressing with no way to reset.

      Looking for suggestions on best way to proceed…

        SILabs drivers work fine on Sierra and with SG-1000.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Any special techniques for getting the Silicon Lab driver to work on macOS Sierra?

          I go through the install and connect the USB to micro-usb to the SG-1000 and power-up, but the device doesn't show in the mac device table anywhere so I can't bring up the console screen.

            ls /dev/cu.*

            $ ls -1 /dev/cu.*
            /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
            /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART
            /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART50
            /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART54

            You do not need to power the SG-1000 to get the port to show on the host. The serial chipset is USB-powered.

            There will, of course, be no visible output until the unit is powered.
