Hardware/Software Requirements
Hard or floppy disk with at least 260KB of available space;
one floppy drive (or two if you want to backup/restore to or
from a floppy); an RS-232C serial communication port; and a
standard serial communication cable. Backup software is
included.
Serial Communication Cable
You will need a standard serial communication cable with
one male DB9 end (for the controller) and a female end
matching the free serial communication port on your
computer.
There are two types of serial ports: DB9 (9-pin) and DB25
(25-pin). Use the documentation provided with your
computer to determine whether its serial port is DB9 or
DB25.
• If your computer’s serial port is DB9, obtain a serial
cable with one male DB9 end and one female DB9 end.
• If your computer’s serial port is DB25, obtain a serial
cable with one male DB9 end and one female DB25 end.
