They aren't really the same thing. The mini-DIN 6 is a connector, a PS/2 port is a specification for 2 1200bps open collector serial leads, +5V, and ground, using that particular connector. If you are in fact using the PS/2 pinout and signal levels, types, modulation, and encoding, then either is correct. But I was unclear on whether this is true. It's like saying a 555 plugs into a TL072 socket. They're both DIP-8, but if you were to plug a 555 into a DIP-8 socket wired to accept a TL072, it wouldn't work as intended. > The Haicom HA-204III manual refers to the interface as both a PS/2 and a 6 > pin mini-DIN. A look at the product page (I don't have that manual) makes it look as if it isn't using PS/2 signalling, so the manual is using the term incorrectly as well. Granted, it's a common error (like referring to a chAMP-50 as a "Centronics" connector, or a UTP Ethernet connector as "RJ-45"), but it's a peeve of mine. I notice that Haicom also refers to a DE-9 connector as a "DB-9". - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
