serial ports
[font=arial,helvetica] Hello everyone!
I am looking for binouts of PC ·(DB-9) an Mac ( mini DIN8M) serial ports. I
need ·one of these adapter cables and I could never find one. I figured out
that instead of using a whole bunch of adapters I could make one on my own.
Can somebody please help me?[/font]

has an adapter they call "Printer cable", page 180
latest online catalog part #181382 $3.95, it has 8-pin
mini DIN male to DE9 female. They might be a good
source for parts if the pin outs are not correct.

only data transfer protocol?

push-pull from 0 to 5V. They only specify the electrical operation. Data
protocol can be what ever you want though usually 7 or 8 bit ASCII with a
Start bit and Stop pause.

although if I recall correctly, you are off with
voltages. I recommend B&B Electronics RS-422/485
Application Note at
http://www.bb-elec.com/tech_articles/rs422_485_app_note/table_of_contents.asp.
RS-422 is differential - instead of one each RXD and
TXD referenced to GND, 422 uses a positive and
negative of each transmit and receive (+7 VDC and -7
VDC, I think), so to convert to EIA/TIA-232c you must
combine the transmit signals together and the receive
signals together, and adjust the voltage; also,
possibly, handle handshaking, though not in the
Stamp's context.
B&B has some converters, I think some under $30, some
between $50 and $120. Black Box also has some, in a
slightly wider price range.
