RS422: USB to RS-422 serial adapter
The USB-COMi converter is housed in a strong plastic enclosure designed for use in rugged application areas . USB-COMi adds a Windows serial Com port via its USB connection and can be configured to work with RS-422 and RS485 peripherals such as POS and Industrial Control devices. USB Plug and Play allows easy serial port expansion and requires no IRQ, DMA, or I/O port resources.
USB-COMi features a full set of RS422 / 485 data and control signals ( TX-, TX+, RX+, RX-, GND, RTS-, RTS+, CTS+,
CTS- ) on its DB9 male connector. For details of the DB9 connector pin-out and RS422/RS485 configuration information please refer to our installation guides page. USB-COMi has an internal 128 byte transmit buffer FIFO and a 384 byte receive buffer FIFO. It supports data transfer rates of up to 230K bps. No external power supply is required as USB-COMi takes its power from the USB bus. USB-COMi comes complete with drivers for Microsoft Windows '98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Drivers are also available for Apple OS-8, OS-9 and OS-X as well as Linux. See our drivers page for details. 1.8M cable included.

USB-COMi RS422 and the Sony Professional Video decks RS422 Protocol.
Hi Don, Got it to work!!!
Butchered a standard DB9F to DB9M and crossed the pins as follows:
DB9F(USB-COMi) > DB9M(Sony vtr)
Pin 1 > Pin 8
Pin 2 > Pin 3
Pin 3 > Pin 7
Pin 4 > Pin 2
Pin 5 > Pin 4 & 6
Shell GND > Pin 1 & Shell GND (not sure how important this is...)
Remaining pins disconnected.
This was based on the published pinouts of both the USB-COMi and the Sony RS422 Protocol. Both are easily available on the web.
Feel free to share this as you wish...however as this is very much 'bush electronics' I take no responsibility whatsoever for any unforseen circumstances or damage! Others make use of it at their own risk... Cheers, Steve..

The USB-Comi uses two MAX3086 level converter chips which are capable of up to 10 Mega bps, so it should be capable of 1 MBps. |
