Ok, Set your wayback machines to 1995(ish). I have both a Saber IE and an Astro Saber III. The RIB Cable I have is for the Astro Saber. Works great with the Astro CPS.
Now when I try that same cable on my Saber IE and my old DOS PC (the one I use to flash old radios) and RSS, The RSS fails to read and throws a Com Bus Fail.
In looking at Bat-Labs, I noticd there are two different cable diagrams. One for the Saber and one for the Astro. The only difference is the Busy line. The Astro sees Busy on Pin 6 and the Saber IE on Pin 8 of the DB25 to the RIB. One is High, the other is low.
Is this accurate? I can easily swap the pins via my trusty IDS Blue box but thought I'd ask the wise old owls here.
