Re: ALDL to Laptop connector
That's an over-complicated schematic.
There are more simple MAX232 circuits, and also two transistor circuits that will also work.
I built a simple MAX232 circuit myself, and it worked fine.
Here is the circuit I built:
Some pictures of the "cable" itself:
I have a 9V battery installed in the box and can be powered on it's own.
