One MAX232 or equivalent and a few discretes is all I needed (the connector has both 5V and 3.3V power available). Of course, you still need to connect. I opened up the machine and soldered wires onto the board, running them out to a connector (I used a more common connector) through a small hole I cut in the case. But, as I said, that assumes you're not afraid of electronics and soldering and suchlike. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
