what is MAX 232 -- this is the first it has been brought up.... I thought you said 'FT232' -- how does that differ from RS232?
I posted the links at the beginning of the thread -- the aldl cable I have was the standard when laptops still had serial ports. It was specifically made to use with OBD1 -- I find it difficult to believe it is such a rare bird now (and they still sell it brand new) since usb has become so popular .....that was the cable 'they' all said to use at the time --- how can it be it is so difficult to make that data enter into a newer computer -- they all still use windows, and they all still only understand 1's and 0's --- and it's STILL the same stream of data it was 14 years ago..... today's computers still understand touchtone phone sounds.... those have been around since the 70's .....and now they even have USB record players....
