[volt-nuts] Solartron 7081 Serial Communication

[J. L. Trantham]

Dave's post reminded me.  The DB25 RS232 connector does not mate with any of
my serial connectors and I made a DB25 to DB9 adapter using 3 wires.  It
would never work.  Only after I did an internet search for the 'complete'
DB25 to DB9 adapter wiring and added all the other, seemingly unneeded,
wires did it work.

Hope it helps.

Joe

ISTR it's a straight through connector rather than a null-modem that you
need to talk to the 7081 8, N, 1 is correct.

Make sure you are looking at the mouse piano (dip switch = Mäuseklavier) for
the baud rate from the correct side, and that you check you have the switch
settings the right way round (on/off) as my memory tells me the manual was a
little unclear on this
