Re: Firecracker and USB-Serial

I have spent many tears trying to make things standard with this nonsense.

If the correct connectors are used for the application the interface always
works, everytime.

It is only the confusionists that cannot follow specs that make RS232 not
work, ever.

The connector is the same; the pinout is different -- sort of. And
things really get confusing when you consider devices that can act as
either DCE or DTE (like many computers). In that case, there's no
*right* way to wire up the connector...

Plenty of "non-RS-232" interfaces use DB-25s.
