pinout for mini din? - 04/15/99 12:04 PM

Hi-
I was planning to make a cable to download the DA7 update... I've got the diagram from Panasonic for the adaptor cable, but I don't know the numbers for the individual pins on the 8 pin mini din plug. They are printed on the PC side, however... Anyone got a diagram or site that shows this? Thanks-

I too had this problem of knowing which pin was which. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the mini-din was indeed labelled.
You may need a magnifying glass to read them

I have the miniDIN8 pin numbers in a diagram downloadable from my website.

I also now have the pin diagram of a 9-pin cable

The 9 pin parts are available from Radio Shack. You'll need a connector and a hood. The best and cheapest way to get the miniDIN8 is to cut the end off a Mac printer cable and solder this to the 9pin.
