You mean like my 'new and improved' design I mailed that
same day? Except I used female for send and male for recv
(Could be done the other way around just as well)
(MSX/female) -+---------------- (SEND/female)
|
(RECV/male)
But since a lot of ppl were afraid of plug-in mix-ups, the
send and receive connectors have changed sex and appearance
(MSX/DB9/f) -+----------------- (SEND/DIN8/m)
|
(RECV/DIN8/f)
For more details/pin layout, read my other posting.
