I bought an Escom Blackmate IV 33MHz Notebook in Germany. The same
thing is distributed here in Singapore by IPC, albeit with only
25Mhz, called Porta PC. It has a funny COM2 port. It is a very small
15-pin connector. IPC sells trackballs to be connected there, including
one that has a builtin Fax-Modem. But I want to connect some other
serial mouse there. So I called IPC to find out what the pin-layout is
and whether I can get a connector to plug in there. I got the
pin-description, but no-one seems to have spare connectors so that I
can make my own converter to 9-pin :-(

Here is the Pin-Out:

	1	GND
	2	SYS_STAT
	3	DSR#
	4	RTS#
	5	CTS#
	6	RI#
	7	not used
	8	GND
	9	+5V in
	10	DTR#
	11	DCD#
	12	TXD
	13	RXD
	14	SPK_DATA
	15	GND

My problem is now to get the connector. It is *very* small, about 2cm in
length with 15 pins in 1 row. I had a sneak look at the IPC trackball,
and the connector had something like S15P..... stamped onto it, what I
guess means sub-15-pin... but I lost that piece of paper.

Could anyone outthere give me a tip on how to get hold of that piece?
ESCOM in Germany also was no help :-(.

Thx alot

Mathias
