Thank you, but the "Smart Cables" haven't ever worked for any of the kinds
of things that I've needed, and another dozen devices added onto the stuff
that I already have wouldn't be much help - I need to get rid of a few
dozen cubic yards of stuff. I'm even having to [gasp!] get rid of
magazines and some books!
But I'm keeping almost all of my REAL breakout boxes. My favorite is a
lunch box sized one that has a row of dip switches for straight through
signals, jumper pads for crossing over, signal level meters, and a signal
generator that lets you set speed and number of bits and send a continuous
stream of four letter words!
