cable?
Trying to make this cable is driving me nuts. I've lost count of how
many times this weekend I've wired a cable only to have stampw tell me
it can't find the chip. Can someone help? I have a female db9 connecting
to a male db9 on my pc. At the other end of the cable I have wrapped the
wires around a 14pin wire-wrap socket for insertion into the breadboard.
I have mapped the colored wires to the pins on the male side of the
cable (now cut off from the whole cable) and believe I have db9 pins 2-5
connecting to bs2 pins 1-4. If anyone happens to have this same colored
cable (just a part I picked up at an electonics store cheap) the colors
I'm working with are red, orange, yellow, and green. The only two other
wires are what I believe are pins 6 and 7, colors blue and purple, that
I have twisted together to form the loop back shown in the manual.
Please, try to save what little sanity remains.
TIA
Mike

Realizing that I have a modem as com1 (which I knew) then I needed to put
that together with the idea that I have a PDA plugged into a serial port.
Obviously the remaining port I plugged the cable into must be the unused
com1. Unplugging the pda and putting the cable into its port and now stampw
recognizes the chip.
