Re: Serial Cables

Serial cables don't have anything to do with joysticks. With the exception of the CMUCam communication, the serial cables in the IFI control system use 9-pin connectors. If you're talking about the 15-pin connectors on the sides of the OI, they're game port connectors. The definition of the pins is in the OI reference manual.

So what cable are you actually referring to? So far as I know, the only 15-pin connectors in the Kit of Parts are attached to the joysticks. Anything else you might have is going to be something you got on your own, and other people here likely won't know any more about it than you do.
