Thanks a bunch for making this info publicly available. Just got an
original PhotoPC digicam at auction for $3 with no cable. Using your
page as a guide, I was able to build PC and Mac cables quite easily.
I can confirm that it is as you suspected, only Rx, Tx, and ground are
important. Since you already have the PC diagram diagram listed, I
thought I would pass along the successful Mac pinouts:
Camera DIN8 Mac DIN8 Port (mine is a 7500)
Pin# Pin#
2 ---------- 5
3 ---------- 3
5 ---------- 4
Works great at the top speed of 57,600 bps after downloading the correct
software from the Epson web page. I recently emailed Epson and they
responded after a week that they didn't have access to the pinout and
that the Mac cable was no longer made (really). Thanks again!
Best Regards,
