I have a brand new RS-422 host adapter with 8 female DB9 connectors. Acceleport Xr is what is on the box. Of course these keywords came up with nothing on the support page. (!)
I figured out to call it an 8r and found that it is obsolete. No kidding. It is from 1998 (though it was NIB when I got it a few months ago!)
Anyway, the stupid diagnostics program won’t run on XP. What sort of adapter do I need to connect a standard serial (RS-232) device (female DB9 connector) to one of these tentacles?
