Hi,
Well i was not talking about the connection between the '877 and DB9.
I was told that the cable i'm using (to connect my project board and the computer) at the moment might not work so how do i connect the DB9 from my board with the serial port (COM 1) in my computer?
Can i just use to wires, pin 2 and 3 from DB9 on my project board to connect to the pins 2 and 3 of the computers serial port. This seems a bit unusall to me.

Cheers,
Tom
