Ray,
There have been some good suggestions (I'd check the cable closely with an
Ohmeter or continuity tester) but if you stillhave a problems, pop down to
Radio Shack (or equivalent) and get a break out box. It will have jumpers and
LEDs on each pin and you can see if there are any control lines high or low.
Compare it to a working setup. If that doesn't help, get your hands on a
Protocol Analyzer. It will tell you the digits sent, show control line
transitions, clock pulses, baud rates, etc. They're kind of expensive to buy
but can be rented fairly cheap for a short time. It will probably tell you
within a few minutes what's going on.
