Hi

I have a Fortuna GPS antenna which has an inline PS/2 socket. I would like to know what the pinouts are on the socket so that I can repair a car charger / power lead for my iPaq 4700. the cable came out of the iPaq plug after being pulled accidentally and I don't know how they connect inside the Himalaya plug to the iPaq. I have details of the iPaq pinouts, so all I need to repair it is the connections to the PS/2 socket for power and signal. It looks as if only two signal wires were connected inside the plug, however I don't know if the antenna uses RS-232 or TTL which affects the pins I connect the wires to. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

Found them.... for those who may need them, the pinouts on the socket are as follows.

6 . | . 5
4 . . 3
2 . . 1

1 KBA Data
2 Reserved
3 Ground
4 "+5V Vac Vin
5 "+KBD Data
6 Reserved

Taken from the Fortuna U2 Manual. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, can anyone please tell me how this translates into RS232 TX / RX data?
