Darrell, I just bought that exact unit a couple weeks ago, probably from the same seller. It works directly with an RS-232 port. I'm using mine with a RS-232/USB adapter to my laptop. The power supply board only supplies the +/- 12VDC and + 5VDC.
Here are the Mouser part numbers for the power plug and female pins: Mouser #: 538-50-57-9406 Mfr. #: 50-57-9406 Desc.: SL Connectors HSG 6P SINGLE ROW POSITIVE LATCH Mouser #: 538-16-02-0104 Mfr. #: 16-02-0104 Desc.: SL Connectors 22-24 TERMINAL BULK Ken, WA2LBI On Feb 12, 2008 11:19 PM, Darrell Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've just purchased a Trimble Thunderbolt from e-Bay, and from the various > documentation that I've found online I'm still not 100% sure if I can use the > RS-232 interface directly with my computer.
