I am looking for the name of the cable that would go from the large "service" port of my Isotec 108 to the com port of my computer. Bob, told me the what the connector was called and told me I could find at Radio Shack but they don't have it and I need the name again so I can search for it. Thanks
Wouldn't that just be a DB25 to a DB9 cable? Not sure if it needs to be a null modem cable, I carry an adapter just in case.
The large connector looks like a printer connection, more than a bunch of pins?
"Centronics" or "parallel printer" cable interfaces could easily be mistaken for Amphenol.
it is a DB25 to what ever your Com port on your computer is., But, it only uses pins 2,3,7 and 20
I looks most like the last one C50. It's the same connection that the phone system uses to connect to the cards.

Ahhh... You're describing the Service connector on the backplane beside the CPU. You REALLY need both an I/O panel that breaks out two RS232 and two RS422 ports (all of which are presented via DB25F connectors) as well as the cable that goes from the backplane to the I/O panel. The cable has connectors that look like a standard champ/amphenol connector - only smaller. While you MAY be able to hack into the cable and make it work, simply getting both the cable and I/O panel will make life easy. Gotta say that I've never seen a 108 without the I/O panel installed. Must have been a very low-budget install!

I have both the service tail and the I/O Panel. I would post a picture of it, But, Since I've Never posted a Picture Here , I can't find my log-in stuff for Photo Bucket. Barb, Pm me me your email address and I will send you the info.
Barb, I emailed you a pic and some info.
