[Techtoolslist] Data I/O 29A Unipak Issues,(Promlink)

[Mark Hooks]

After a year of messing around with this thing off and on I finally got it 
working. I had to revert to Promlink version 2.4 and Windows 98 to get it 
running. Seems the later versions don't have the Unipak option. They only 
have Unipak 2B which is different. I also made a custom cable for it.

So others wont have to go through the pain I did, here's the pin connections 
for making a cable:

DB9 (PC)     DB25 (29A)
    2                        2
    3                        3
    8                        4
    7                        5
    5                        7

I was able to use the default port settings to get things to communicate.
