The (Seiko?) SN-921 can apparently be powered via DE9 or the 2.1mm
jack next to it...
1. GND
2. SERIAL OUTPUT (?9 V)
3. SERIAL INPUT
4. POWER IN +5 V
5. POWER IN +5 V
6. NC
7. NC
8. GND
9. NC
Now that I've poked around in the innards, I can say that this pinout
has a slight mistake in it. It should be:
1. GND
2. SERIAL OUTPUT (?9 V)
3. SERIAL INPUT
4. POWER IN +5 V
5. POWER IN +5 V
6. NC
7. GND
8. NC
9. NC
There are mentions here and there about how to hook up this dial box
using the +5V power jack and DE9 pins 2, 3, and 7. I can confirm from
direct examination that pin 7 is a ground and 8 is NC on the PCB (and
that 4 and 5 are connected directly to the center pin of the 2.1mm
power jack).
