64: <p>
65: OpenBSD/landisk is the 1st OpenBSD port to a
66: <a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a> SH-4 based machine.
67: It is hoped that other SH-4 based machines will show up which are
68: interesting enough for our user and development community, but the SH-4
69: processor is normally used only in true embedded products.

107: <strong>Serial cable connection</a></strong>
108: </font></h3>
109: All of these machines require a special serial cable which does
110: voltage conversion, and can hopefully be purchased along with the
111: card. This cable normally contains a little max232 or similar chip
1.5 deraadt 112: which converts from the 3.3V signals to +/-12V. The IO-DATA cable
113: has pins which can grip the inside of the holes. Or you can attempt
1.4 deraadt 114: to build your own using
115: <a href="http://www.mizore.jp/wiki/index.php?LANDISK%2Fserial-console">
116: some Japanese instructions</a>.
117: <p>
1.6 deraadt 118: The IO-DATA cable converts from a DB9 connector to a 5-pin header
119: (3.3V Tx Rx GND NC). Note that the Rx and Tx pins on the board are
120: <b>swapped</b> compared to the ARM-based machines made by IO-DATA.
121: All the board models have a 5-pin connector (called CN7) which the cable
122: can plug into -- except for the USL-5P which has a 4-pin header (thus
123: requiring removal of the spare pin).
1.4 deraadt 124: <p>
1.5 deraadt 125: A USL-5P is shown with a modified IO-DATA cable. In this case the cable
126: has been shortened significantly and the DB9 connector is glued into a slot
127: carefully cut into the plastic between the ethernet and a USB port.
