just got a new dm500 mobo and the serial port connector has 8 pins but my old mobo had 3 pins
Tried as many different combinations as poss but dreamup doesnt see box
(Box starts up OK with some chinese software on it)
Anybody know how to connect the mobo to the serial port?
BTW the new mobo also has a switch terminal on it, and the old one doesnt
Problem fitting new mobo to dm500

8 pin connection on the back of the 500 is for a null modem cable, so you need the same connection on the motherboard, think you might be able to use a usb to serial converter.

switch the 3 pin serial connecter for a 8 pin one
