Does anybody have more information on the protocol in use by this serial
DCF77 clock? It comes with PCDCFDOS.EXE but no sourcecode ... the
documentation states it uses 9600, even parity, 2 stopbits and 8 databits,
but the connector has 4 wires connected and it does not work with TX, RX and
GROUND only ... after some experimenting I cannot find how it works, how the
PC initiates the communication with the clock, somehow it depends on this
4th wire ...

I'd like to make it work from within a C(++) module ...

Please help, best regards,

Werner
