Greetings all,



I have this UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that needs a serial cable to
communicate with the computer.



For whatever reason, the manufacturer, Para Systems Inc., has chosen to make
this cable special.



So, I would like someone who has one of these units, to take the time to do
a continuity check on the cable and report back. I know I am not the only
person that would benefit from this. I have searched the web, and found
others needing this vary assistance, but none have found the solution.



I suspect that some of the pins are tied together, that some wires crossed,
and there may even be a capacitor or resistor or diode hidden in the
connector assembly, I really don’t know.



Anyway, if you have one, I would appreciated it if you would check it out
for us all. ;-)



Again, the unit in question is:



Para Systems Inc.

Minuteman Alliance A425

425-Watt Uninterruptible Power Supply



Also, is anyone using one successfully with windows XP? What settings does
it work with?



Thanks!
