Dan Weiss is right.. the black link cable doesn't support RS232 serial
data... it is just wired to some pins directly. what the grey cable did was
accept RS232 data and transform it to ti protocol.. the  black cable doesn't
do this ... so you have to set/reset  some lines and read from others (they
are wired together)... I suggest you take a look at the VTI source code...
