I don't know what I was expecting when I got this no-name-brand super serial card for my Apple ][+, but it doesn't have a DB-type connector which I'm used to from my PC experience. Instead, it has a 10-pin Berg (or is it Burg?) connector. Can somebody please tell my what the function of each of the pins is? I want to make a cable to go to an external modem. Reply to the net or e-mail, depending on whether or not you think the rest of the world would like to know. All help is greatly appreciated! jeff sommer BITNET: JMSOMMER@MIAVX1 (Sorry, no fancy .sig!

Sounds like you're talking about the 10-pin connector on the board. I have a real Apple SSC that has the same thing. You should've gotten an adapter in the box with your SSC that has the 10-pin connector on one end and a regular DB-25 connector on the other end, both separated by a few inches of ribbon cable. This setup was used to make installation of the DB-25 connector easier, since you don't have a big card dangling off of it when you put it in.
