pin configuration for db9

[igbalm]

I have a midi connection that terminates with a db9. I need to adapt it to a db15 but do not know the pin configuration in both the db9 or db15. Can someone help please.

Emeric: I think igbalm may need something else. A serial port <can> be used to send MIDI signals but is not directly compatible with standard MIDI. Unless the device on the other end of the cable is already set up to deal with this difference, you need to take some extra steps. And if it <is> already set up that way, the best source of information on how to wire the cable would come from the manufacturer of that device. Your link is the standard pin configuration for a serial port on a db9 connector in a PC. I dug up some articles on creating your own MIDI port out of a standard serial port. But for drivers, you're on your own....

Good Luck to all involved....
