2/2 He says yes, that's what makes it a "cable". So I ask if he has one with RS-232 on both ends.
He looks at me like I'm a poor stupid old man and says there is no such thing, that's not how RS-232 works. Really.
Before I can say a word, he turns his back and walks off. Little shit. I fucking hate that we don't have any remaining computer stores here.
So I bought it on amazon because you simply can't buy a goddam serial cable in a store any more.
