Does anyone know of or know where we could get the configuration for the Mac+ mini din 8 to DB9 communication cable. Apple order#590-0341-a or M0187. We would like to convert the DB9 pin side to a rs232 25pin cable for use with a IBM 7171 ascii device control unit. Any information would be appriciated. Thanxs DCMCU & EEHCU

The output from the mini-din 8 to db9 is the same as the output from the db9 on the old 128/512 except there is no +5V. The following should be helpful DB9 1 Frame Ground 2 +5v 3 Signal Ground (GND) 4 Transmit Data (TXD+) 5 Transmit Data (TXD-) 6 +12V 7 Handshake 8 Receive Data (RXD+) 9 Receive Data (RXD-) Mini-DIn 8 1 Handshake output (KSKo +12V) 2 Handshke Input (HSKi) 3 Transmit Data (TXD-) 4 Frame Ground 5 Receive Data (RXD-) 6 Transmit Data (TXD+) 8 Receive Data (RXD+) We have also discovered that Apple part no. A9C0314 Apple II printer Cable works perfectly as a Mini-Din 8 to DB25 RS232 Adapter.

I highly recommend it, and not just for the pin-outs. --Paul [inews food]
