My new null modem cable arrived from eBay. I connected it to the Apple /// and tried to bootstrap it again. Looks like the cable is working... sort of.

Now it at least starts to send over the kernel. It shows "LOADING KERNEL" along with a flashing character to the right, like it's supposed to.

But then it stops and just says "OK!".

It doesn't transition to "LOADING INTERP" or "LOADING DRIVER".

Anyone know what I'm missing? Both ends of my serial cable are firmly seated. I can't think of what else it can be.
