Will DB-25 to DB-15 Adapter Work On Motorola RIB ??

I was given a Motorola RIB (RLN4008B) and see it has a DB-15 connector. My Serial Cable ends in a DB-25. Will an adapter work or do I really need to get a Serial Cable with a DB-15 on one end ?

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

Try it and see.
You may have to change some wiring around but there is plenty of stuff around on ribs

If the adapter doesn't work, just cut the end off and solder a 15 pin plug on the end of it. Heck, you could just buy the cheap-o 9-pin serial cable from Rat Shack and cut & soldered it.

Only thing is, you'll have to get the 15 pin plug from an electronics store as Rat Shck doesn't have them.
