ok then, being 3 leads, you will use the pins 1, 10 and 12..basically 10 and 12 get connected so your wire connects to itself in the sleave

yup one goes to pin 2 in the db9, and the other 2 which are shorted together go to pin 3. (or vise versa, get a db pin extractor tool at radio shack $3, its a littel red& white tool used to pull pins out of the db style housings. Switch 2&3 if it doesnt work the 1st time)

Or just drop this guy: [email protected] a mail with what you need Palm or laptop cable for $25.

$25 seems a little much, i made mine for $.35

thanks for the help so far guys. should my cable have a red power lead because mind doesnt.

 

[DevilSperm]

no, mine doesnt..basically it has 2 wires..the one that goes to pin 12 also jumps over to pin 10, yours is like mine..so in short, no.
