Re: Program Port Y-cable
Wait a second...
Isn't there only one data line?...well, two if you consider each direction a seperate line. If three devices are connected to the same RS-232 line, I'm pretty sure only two of them can talk to each other. The other would either just get confused or interfere with the communciations. Unless of course there's some negotiation I don't know about...
