    Chaz do you have the cable diagram for it. RS232 receive & transmit are on pins 2 & 3 sometimes they have to be reversed. Ground (if I remember) is on pin 7 on a DB25 plug and pin 5 on a DB9 plug

    So what I've done is order a new F / M straight cable. The Kinco drive manual shows as default 2-2 3-3 and 7-7 wiring. Will try that first. Struggling to find (on Amazon) and null modem M / F cable in case.

    Problem Ive had is that on my Panasonic drives that use Serial / proprietary, Ive also struggled to get it working.

    I have a stack of about half a dozen HP DC7600 small form factor PC's that will shortly be going to the tip - you are welcome to all or any if you wish FOC. They have RS232 ports and multiple USB's - all have had their hard disks removed for security reasons - they are ex-corporate machines.

    (the clear out continues !)

    Thanks, nothing like your workmanship however. Perhaps Thor can build some pretty parts.
