Hi Guys,
 
I know this is a bit off topic, but there are some pretty smart guys on  
this list so here goes. I'm hooking up an Orion 2800PX rotor controller to my  
computer today. The DB-9 ( OK, I already know the correct term is DE9, but 
I've  always heard it as DB-9) serial cable at the computer end has to be 
female and  the db9 at the controller end has to be male. I have a male x male 
cable and a  female x female cable. If I hook the cables together it would 
be male on one end  and female on the other. What I don't know is if the pin 
outs would still be  correct or if they would be reversed. Anyone know?
 
Thanks,
Marty AB5GU
