Re: [Gumstix-users] Connector cable

Go to this site:
http://www.networktechinc.com/technote.html, and find 'Sun Keyboard
and mouse' on the right side. I'll refer to these pin numbers. (note
that the functionality of the pins described here appears to differ -
As a guess I'll bet that the cables being used by the gumstix guys are
Mac null modem cables).

A little further below, there is a DB9 connector. Note that this is
for a male connector and you'll be using a female connector, so the
pin numbers match but they're a mirror image (1 is in the top right,
and 5 is in the top left).

DB9 pin 2 should connect to Mini-DIN-8 pin 5
DB9 pin 3 should connect to Mini-DIN-8 pin 3
DB9 pin 5 should connect to Mini-DIN-8 pin 4
