[cctalk] Re: 9-pin mini-DIN serial?
Psion bought my former employer, Teklogix, Inc., of Mississauga, ON., to provide early wireless connectivity for industrial warehouse and inventory control. I wouldn't mind betting some of its products were found attached to Teklogix wireless devices! (This is all before 802.11 etc) cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!

But I am not sure it ever made it across the Pond. -tony

I see it (and I observed the same thing - just rejoined after having subscription problems stretching back to May, and didn't see any traffic). -ethan On Fri, Sep 16, 2022 at 12:09 PM Kevin McQuiggin via cctalk wrote: > > Pardon the test message, I have just re-subscribed to the list but have seen > no traffic on it for a couple of days. > > Kevin McQuiggin

An interesting thought, but the PDF manual you linked shows the PX-8 serial port (pp16-17) is 8-pin mini-DIN. This is what the connector on these looks like, including the metal "bar" at the top: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MiniDIN-9_Diagram.svg -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- If you use Arabic numerals, THE TERRORISTS WIN -
