8-pin-to-8-pin? No need. The Mac's RS422 ports do away with that silly DTE/DCE distinction that RS232 uses and that sometimes requires us to use null-modem cables. If you need to interface to an RS232 device, just use a Mac modem able and, if necessary, a separate RS232 null-modem or null-modem cable. A good collection of 9-to-25-pin, gender-changer and null-modem adapters ensures you'll be able to connect just about anything to everything. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Roses are red Violets are blue The shorter the skirt The better the view -- Joost van de Griek <http://www.jvdg.net/> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
