HSEROUT question

[Hylan]

Al,
I think the cable connection is probably my problem as you mentioned, going from device to device without the computer. I'm in India at the moment and due to some strikes and other stuff going on, I'm limited to be able to get a actual cable. So I took regular USB cable, cut it open and then crossed the green and white wires (D+ and D-) and left the red and black alone. I then plugged this into the usb to serial cable and I still didn't get anything.
I then put the white and green back just to make sure it still worked normally when hooking the device to the computer and it did.
So did I miss something? Logically this made complete sense when you mentioned it and I was dissappointed when it did't work. I've also got some questions in to the tech support group for the other device to see what their take on this is.
Thank you,
Hylan
