Re: Visor Platinum--Timeport 8767

I have been over and over and over my settings, I have purchased a null-modem and plain M-to-M connectors, I have even broken out the multi-meter to see what does what. I wanted to 'see if I like it' before sending off for a cable from www.gomadic.com, and broke out the serial cradle and data-connectivity kit. No luck whatsoever-I'm just about to throw it out the window.
The TimePort 8767 is essentially the same as the StarTAC, at least at the connector. Any Visor to StarTAC cable should work for you.
Since the Visor and TimePort are both TTL devices, they need to be connected to a serial port where they can draw power from the control lines (DSR, etc) to convert their native TTL signals to RS232. Neither device can provide that power with the cradle/data kit combo.
