Daniel, you're the guy! Your web site here
http://dev.newtontalk.net/~dpadilla/minidin.htm made installing my mini-din
8 so much easier. Still very difficult, but much easier than soldering on
the chip. I probably should have used thinner wire (than ethernet
cable). Pity I've only used it twice- once to upload NIE, and the other
time to discover how slow it was.
Another quick question: Does anything use the RS422 stuff, or does
everything (communication with mac, keyboard etc) just use the 5 wires for
RS232. That's all I've installed so far, as the extra three wires are
quite tough.
Cheers,
Damien
