hello there.
i a bit confused regarding to the creation of the "NULL MODEM" cable. after reading the ZackyFileS's manual of "How to construct a NULL MODEM cable"
i came to the conclusion that the best option for me would be to modify an existent commercial cable. therefore and because I intend to use a notebook (parallel port) to communicate with the receiver (by the way, i intend to use the receiver Mirage sci900s - fig.3 ) could someone confirm if the cable i should use is the "Serial (RS232) null modem cable (DB9-DB25)" as in the fig.1?
fig.1
my other question is as follows:
so, using the fig. 2 , i should connect the DB25 Male (the one bellow) to the notebook and the DB9 Female (the one above) to the receiver (fig.3), right? acording to the manual i must use a DB9 male instead of the DB9 Female and swap the wires, right?
fig.2
but then, how do i connect a DB male to the reciever, which as a RS-232 male (fig.3)?
fig.3
or, am i confusing everything?
if that is the case, sorry for my ignorance but if someone could clarify this for me it would be much apreciated.
