I know I need a MMJ jack to DB25 male cable, but there are a few flavors. At first
glance it appears that I either need H8571-D or H8575-D, however its possible I ned
H8575-E.
Someone know which one to purchase? I have the BC16E cable required...
There are lots of flavors. Though Tony will probably blow a fuse when
reading this suggestion, figuring out the absolute perfectly correct one
is a complete waste of time...Get an MMJ adapter, whichever one you can
find. Plug it in. If it doesn't talk, insert a null modem, and it will
talk. Simple as that.
Well, of course, if you want to be a purist about it you can always
replace the unwieldy mess with the correct cable later, when people
are actually going to *see* it. Getting it running is hardly the
time to be a stickler unless it's actually going to damage something.
