One of my 400 other things to do this weekend is build a serial cable setup for my Legacy/Command Base/TPC 400/PC interface. I am thinking of making a serial port panel mount near my controls for convenient access. Anyone do this yet?
That's my plan. I intend to have an outlet available without changing cables, etc.
As Steve Musso posted earlier in this thread, my MANCO Legacy Booster provides an extra 9-pin connector for direct access to the serial data on the Legacy Base's 9-pin.

Dale doesn't need any reviews, but this booster is a bargain, having put the time into building similar, circuits at home for friends. And the added pass thru db9 is the kind of attention and understanding of what is needed in a Legacy system.
Even though I have built boosters myself for others, I'm tempted to buy one for the ease and simplicity of just using it rather than having to make another one for myself 
You can't beat this deal. No connection with Dale, other than recognizing someone who understands.
