Comment on If at first you don't connect
wabasso@lemmy.ca 23 hours agoDo any of these adapters actually do any signal processing / transformation? I always assumed they were simply wiring crossovers. But I guess when the number of pins change there has to be an IC in there somewhere?

That first USB to db9 cable does something, the rest are glorified jumpers.

Yeah so now I’m wondering if jumpers stand a better chance of making this work, accidentally. If I had more time I’d look up all the specs and see where the wire maze lands!
