Tascam Part# PW88AC2

[fgonza2]

makes sense. Now, is the box on cable connected to a power adapter as well ? there is no power on the ext2 connectors to supply the optocouplers internally. I wonder where the power comes from then.

The input side,(shorter cable),gets +5VDC from pin 10 on the ACC.2 connector on the RC-848.The owner's manual for the RC-848 does not show the +5VDC on pin 10 ,but the service manual schematic shows it.The shorter end of the PW-88AC2 goes to the RC-848,the longer end goes to the tape machine-and the Baud rate should be set to 9600 baud on both the RC-848 and the TSR-8/MSR16/MSR24.

Nope. Don't have any PMs from you. Good info about the power, yes that is not on the manual. I wonder if on the TSR8 on pin8 there is also power, i will try to measure it see if there is something in there. Nothing according to the schematics.

does anyone has an schematic of this cable or can loan one to me so i can make one ?

thanks

I second fgonza.

fascinated by this thread. i have been looking for a solution to connect my msr-16s to the 848 for so long, with no luck. looks like it would be possible to make the cable if we knew whats in the box.

Looks to be an expensive cable, jeez...

I have the two. I will sell for $75 ea. + actual shipping. They both have 15 ft. cable one end 1 ft. the other.
