Hello
I'm trying to figure out what cable I need to make a serial link between a modern PC/mac and my powerbooks
Let's start with my PB100 : it has avery peculiar serial connector, with only a few pins in it. I'm really not sure what cable to stick in there
The PB180 seems to need a DIN8 connector, there are DIN8 to DB9 adapters out there, but the mac also uses RS422 instead of RS232 which seem to require either special cabling or even adapters.
Does anyone know how to reliably connect a PB100, or PB180, to a modern PC thru serial (rs232) ?
