[bcab] Re: Cables for the old Keynote synthesizer?

Dear Ibby:
 
Try contacting:
 
eu.support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or
maurice.sloane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if the eu.support people cannot give
you an answer.
 
As a general rule, if the serial connector installed on the
KeyNote SA is male, and it was intended to be connected to a PC
serial port, which is also male, then you will need a null modem
adapter in the circuit.
 
This is usually the case when trying to connect two devices with
connectors of the same gender (male or female).
 
If the two devices have connectors of opposite gender, then
usually you need a "straight through" cable.
 
Thirds is if the equipment makers adhere strictly to the RS-232-C
standard.  However this standard does not specify the actual
connectors, e. g. DB-9 or DB-25 for the circuit and in the back
of the standard, they provide 21 different wiring diagrams, all
of which comply with the standard!
 
As you can tell, the standard was developed by a committee!
