[comp.sys.laptops] 25 to 9 pin null modem cable

gilf@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL (GIL FREUND) (05/23/91)

Hi All,

I want to make a null modem cable to connect a Toshiba t1000le to my desk
top computer. I have a null modem cable, but it's a 25 to 25 pin cable. Can
anyone inform my of the cabling arrangment for a 9 pin connector?

Thanks

Gil

I think I bought one from CompuADD a couple of years ago for ~$6.  Save
yourself tyhe hassle and pop the $6.

Certainly reasonable.  Or, you could hook a standard 9 to 25 straight
through adapter to the 25-25 null modem cable, and it would probably
work.  Works for me, and I do it all the time...
