Link Cable Port Information
#2

I know that some guys have worked on this in the past, but I guess they have come and gone without publishing much.

There's a little pinout info here:
http://fuzzygamer.blog.com/2013/01/18/sp...ink-cable/ ( and http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic...=17&t=2234 )

As for the protocol, you might check out some of the emulator code. IIRC, Koyote did some link emulation.

There is also an official document covering the serial communications. It claims that the link port is a 19200bps, 8N1 serial link with CTS and RTS. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out what's what on the pinout if you did a little scope work.

Personally, I haven't done any real work in this area.
