Dan, if you are going to eavesdrop, pay attention. The piclist.com site DOES have the only COMPLETE piclist archive... all the way back to December of 1993 with a fast browse, full text search, etc... There are several other archives which have different good and bad points. All are discussed at piclist.com Frankly I have no idea how Andy could have "searched" piclist.com and NOT come up with literally thousands of hits from the archive and at least one full FAQ page devoted to this subject. I found a lot with "RS232 near TTL" as a search phrase and even more with just "RS232 TTL convert" James Newton, PICList Admin #3 mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 phone http://www.piclist.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Michaels To: Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 11:14 Subject: Re: [PIC]:Simple RS232 hardware Andy Shaw wrote: >Resent missing header! >Hi Folks, >I'm sure this must have been covered before but a search of piclist.com >failed to find anything... ........ Andy, this topic "has" been beat to death "many" times on piclist in the past. However, what you may not understand is that < piclist.com > and the < PICLIST Mailing List Archives >, ie piclist discussion group, are not really the same thing. AFAIK, piclist.com does not contain the archives. If you want to search the discussion group archives, goto to the bottom of the page at the folowing site and use the search engine. You'll find 100s of RS232 references. http://www.infosite.com/~jkeyzer/piclist/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
