----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Blick" Subject: Re: [EE] Help on cable selection > You can get shells that have DB9 on one end and RJ11 female on the other. DEC (the now-defunct Digital Equipment Corp) used to have such a thing ... well, almost. They had an RJ11-like connector and DB9, or maybe it was DB25 ...it was a while back, shell with an RJ type jack. They had the tab offset so it wasn't an honest RJ11, probably to avoid Herbert's problem. The tab prevented it from going into a phone jack. How about a mouse connector? That is essentially a serial connector anyway. --McD -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
