The current status of "Joystick Network Program-working".
=== Let me know if you all agree with this ===
If so, this part is finished and we can let our thoughts flow over a
protocol (=software).
Connectors:
MSX (DB9 /f)
-->
SEND (DIN5 /m)
RECV (DIN5 /f)
The pin-layout of each connector:
MSX (DB9 /f) pins:
=============
1 - RECV pin 1
2 - RECV pin 2
3 - SEND pin 3
4 - x
5 - x
6 - SEND pin 1
7 - SEND pin 2
8 - RECV pin 3
9 - SEND / RECV pin 5
SEND (DIN5 /m) pins:
====================
1 - MSX pin 6
2 - MSX pin 7
3 - MSX pin 3
4 - x
5 - MSX pin 9
RECV (DIN5 /f) pins:
====================
1 - MSX pin 1
2 - MSX pin 2
3 - MSX pin 8
4 - x
5 - MSX pin 9
An explaining diagramme (non-proporional):
:
: Pin-layout:
: SEND (DIN5 /m) RECV (DIN5 /f)
:
: D0 1 ---------------+ +-------------- 1 D0
: D1 2 -------------+ | | +------------ 2 D1
: ACK 3 -----------+ | | | | +---------- 3 ACK
: GND 5 -----------|-|-|--|-|-|--+------- 5 GND
: | | | | | | |

: 3 7 6 1 2 8 9

: MSX (DB9 /f)

-----------------------------
When just connecting 2 MSX-computers, this cable can be used too
(although the one discribed above is preferred):
MSX1 (DS9 /f)
-->
MSX2 (DS9 /f)
The pin-layout of each connector:
MSX1 (DS9 /f) pins
==================
1 - MSX2 pin 6
2 - MSX2 pin 7
3 - MSX2 pin 8
4 - x
5 - x
6 - MSX2 pin 1
7 - MSX2 pin 2
8 - MSX2 pin 3
9 - MSX2 pin 9
MSX2 (DS9 /f) pins
==================
vice versa
