received Dan's adapter

Wow. Dan found a RJ-to-serial adapter in his kit and gave it to me! Bizarre. He could not recall what it was for but said I could use it for the Optec remote focusing cable. All right. 6 pins!

I tested the lines. Not surprisingly, the pin-out was different. Still. This is a big part to the puzzle. Along with the short RJ 6-wire cable I had found earlier.

Now if I could just find a DB F-M serial cable that could be sacrificed... Damn. Have a ton at home...
