| (...) which pin were you using as ground reference? Maybe redo your test using pin 15 of the Maxim as ground. First check the Maxim is getting good power and ground (pin 15 is ground, pin 16 is +5). Then re-check the voltages on pin 2 (should be +9 (...)

| Okay - thanks - you were right - I mis-read the ground location and used pin 7 of the MAX232 instead of using pin 7 of J9. The chip is getting 5 volt range, but the negative voltages are in the mid-8 range - is this something to worry about? thanks (...) (28 years ago, 2-Jun-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
