Hi all,

the the onboard COM2 header of the A7V400-MX seems to use an uncommon
pinout. I tried out the both mostly used variants (numbers correspondent
to the pins of a RS-232 connector):
----- -----
|6789x| |2468x|
|12345| and |13579|
----- -----

Both don't work.

Does anybody know the correct pinout?

regards,

Arne

Are you certain there isn't a BIOS settings problem ?
There is no reason for Asus to create a third standard.

This guy debugged his motherboard RS-232 pinout, by
using a test program and a multimeter.

(This page works best for me in Netscape.)

I've tested RS-232 with a multimeter before, but only
looked for the TX pin with the multimeter. By sending
data, I would get the needle on my old analog multimeter
to deflect when there was a character stream on the
RS-232 interface. That is good enough for figuring out
whether an interface is wired DTE or DCE.
