I have a variable length file. The first SERIN2 processes a RECORDTYPE, the second processes VARIABLEDATA.

That way I can have record A: 33 characters, and record B: 24 characters. My file consists of 6 different record layouts at the moment, and I'd like to process all the records in one batch. I'd like to avoid having to use 6 different PICs to load them onto EEPROM.

I can't find any reference to where the flow pin is connected on the DB-9 connector. I checked here:

And my best guess would be pin 8, but it's not working, neither is 7. Actually, I tried all the empty pins without success. Maybe I need a resistor like on the RX and TX pins?
