Source for serial port bracket for Asus P4P800?

[EddyG]

I need to find a serial port bracket that will allow me to use the COM2 header on the Asus P4P800 motherboard.

Anybody have any reliable sources for such a bracket that they know is compatible with this motherboard? I tried searching NewEgg but came up empty...

Thanks!

read your manual or ask asus or something for the pinout of the port on the mobo

see if either of those will work.

Thanks for the reply, Mday. I'll see if I can't find out what the difference is between "AT-Everex-Intel" and "DTK" and see which one might work with the P4P800.

If anybody else has suggestions or other info, feel free to reply!

For those interested, I just found this info in Google Groups:

In the industry, there are 2 wiring schemes for these pigtails. IBM/DTK
wiring and Everex wiring, as they are called. IBM/DTK wires the ribbon
straight into the DB9, whereas Everex wiring matches up the pin #s:

DTK/IBM
IDC/ribbon....DB9
1 . . . . . . . . . 1
2 . . . . . . . . . 6
3 . . . . . . . . . 2
4 . . . . . . . . . 7
5 . . . . . . . . . 3
6 . . . . . . . . . 8
7 . . . . . . . . . 4
8 . . . . . . . . . 9
9 . . . . . . . . . 5

Everex
IDC/ribbon DB9
1 . . . . . . . . . 1
2 . . . . . . . . . 2
3 . . . . . . . . . 3
4 . . . . . . . . . 4
5 . . . . . . . . . 5
6 . . . . . . . . . 6
7 . . . . . . . . . 7
8 . . . . . . . . . 8
9 . . . . . . . . . 9

Unfortunately, the manual for the P4P800 does not list RS-232 signals associated with the header on the motherboard, so it is not possible to determine which wiring scheme is correct... :disgust:
