Hello Sun Managers,
Thanks for the responses. Many people suggested getting the splitter cable
from SUN Express, but I didn't want to spend 40 pounds on something I had
nearly built myself anyway. The Sparc 20 serial ports are almost the same
as the ELC ports (which I had documentation for), but port B had more signals
on the 20. I enclose the posting from Anthony Worral at Reading University
which gives the pinout. It is also given in the "Desktop SPARC Hardware
Owners Manual" Dec 92 Appendix C which I don't have for some reason.
Thanks go to:
