- I bought an Escom Blackmate IV 33MHz Notebook in Germany. The same
- thing is distributed here in Singapore by IPC, albeit with only
- 25Mhz, called Porta PC. It has a funny COM2 port. It is a very small
- 15-pin connector. IPC sells trackballs to be connected there, including
- one that has a builtin Fax-Modem. But I want to connect some other
- serial mouse there. So I called IPC to find out what the pin-layout is
- and whether I can get a connector to plug in there. I got the
- pin-description, but no-one seems to have spare connectors so that I
- can make my own converter to 9-pin :-(
-
- Here is the Pin-Out:
-
- 1 GND
- 2 SYS_STAT
- 3 DSR#
- 4 RTS#
- 5 CTS#
- 6 RI#
- 7 not used
- 8 GND
- 9 +5V in
- 10 DTR#
- 11 DCD#
- 12 TXD
- 13 RXD
- 14 SPK_DATA
- 15 GND
-
- My problem is now to get the connector. It is *very* small, about 2cm in
- length with 15 pins in 1 row. I had a sneak look at the IPC trackball,
- and the connector had something like S15P..... stamped onto it, what I
- guess means sub-15-pin... but I lost that piece of paper.
-
- Could anyone outthere give me a tip on how to get hold of that piece?
- ESCOM in Germany also was no help :-(.
-
- Thx alot
