Connecting HP 49g to PC.

[matalog]

I have an FTDI 232 board with a DB9 male connector wired to RX, TX and GND. Then I put the RX to pin 2, TX to pin 3 and GND to pin 5 of the DB9 that comes out of the 49g's original serial cable. 49g waiting to connect via XSERV()

I am not having any luck getting this to connect to Conn4x.

I have previously connected the 50g via USB cable and used the FTDI serial adapter to communicate with various serial devices, I have just tested that with a MIDI keyboard and a MIDI breakout board and it works fine.

I was mainly testing with 9600 baud, but it has not connected yet.

Are other (DTR or CTS for example) ports used in the 49g serial cable?

Should I be able to connect the calculator this way?
