Hiya, all.
Long ago I was a Tait dealer. As such, I still have CPS and a cable (or most of a cable) that used to keep my small handful of portables current.
In the not-too-distant past, one of my attack Dachshunds protected our household from what I can only assume he assumed was a long, really skinny snake with bizarre mouth and tail configurations. The kidney-shaped multi-pin radio connector (rare as hens' teeth) survived, as did the RJ45 connectors . The computer end (RS232 or USB? I no longer remember) has disappeared. I can only hope the dog buried it outdoors; I shudder to think of it passing out of his alimentary canal.
So, quite naturally, I no longer recall what wires went to what pins on the computer end of the cable. I've got the following:
Black
White
Blue
Red
Orange
flying leads hanging out, in decent condition, on the end of approximately two feet of the original flat black jacket.
Can anyone please advise where those five wires go, and also whether it's into a DB-9 / RS232 or a USB? I've got breakout boxes for RS232, so if that's what's called for, I'd be tickled to use one. I've already got a way-slow Win98SE machine I use for nursing my aging Motherola fleet along, so that would be great. It's just been so long since I needed to change anything in my Taits that I just cannot picture the lash-up in my head.
Any (printable) replies would be most welcome.
tnx es 73,
