books say it should be 4800bps,even parity,7 bits 1 stop bit,basic protocal
i set my com 1 port accordingly, built cables...and re-built cables...
I also had to convert from a 25db connector to 9 pin on my computer (that's how old this technology is) I went to a web site a followed their diagram for converting 25 pin to 9 pin connector. So Now I have 9 pin on laptop, 25 pin on old controller. I thought I had made cable wrong, so I left off the connectors and just push the cable pins into the according spots on the recieving connectors (so I could move them arround if need be) I think the TXD and RXT signals are wrong in the manual?
Is there a cheap serial interface detector to verify what signal is where?
thanks
