@Cathoderaytube And #PoweredUSB at least fixed the "fucky-wucky-ness" of abused, gender-flipped #DB9 ports...
Cash registers use weird plugs.

Well thanks, Sparkfun. Now I had to spend my morning updating Schemdraw to correct the DB9 vs DE9 name in its circuit element library, and add several other D-sub connectors. 😀

It's a DE9, Not a DB9. (But We Know What You Mean) - News - SparkFun Electronics

You have been misusing the D-sub connector terminology, and we're guilty of it, too.

Back to playing wit some (cursed) #serial adapters #rs232 #db9!

A rear quarter view of a stunningly beautiful Aston Martin DB9. For me, this is one of the most beautiful cars to ever exist in one of the most beautiful colours.

@wyatt Do I have this straight?
- DE-9 is the common connector for PC serial ports since the PC-AT, specified in TIA-574
- DB-9 is the connector on older RS-232 serial cards: a DB-25 subset with only the 9 pins commonly used by a serial port

USB 2X Joystick Adapter selbst gemacht

Um einen alten Joystick, wie den Competition Pro, an einen modernen PC anzuschließen, brauchen man einen Adapter. Das liegt daran, dass die alten Joysticks von Heimcomputern eine Schnittstelle haben, die heutige Computer nicht mehr haben. Im Internet finden sich viele Vorschläge. Ich möchte heute einen sehr interessanten Adapter vorstellen.

My #Amstrad #ppc640 has an old-style 25 pin #rs232 port. Unfortunately yesterday I couldn't source a #db9 to #db25 #serial adapter, so I had to...ehm...improvise 😅
It seems that only Rx, Tx and ground are needed for it to work!

At the end, all will fit in this enclosure (there was an adsl filter inside). I made some holes for the usb and the reset button. The front hole contained two rj11 sockets, I cut the central divisor and obtained a hole the perfect size for the #uart to #rs232 #db9 connector.
Most of my #retrocomputing gear has the old #db25 connector, so I'll need an adapter anyway...
