Morning, chaps i have managed successfully to do the sb5101e with the black cat lead and have been looking at the way that you do the ambits, are these different black cat leads ? The solder points on the surfboard as you know you use one of them 10 pin connectors, yet the pictures showing you how to do the ambits don't seem to be using them.....

Thanks

you need to get your self a max 232 lead as they have 4 pins on them hope that helps

with the ambit 100/120 u can use the same cable u just have to solder the hearder on the reverse end on the board for the 200 it's a diff 1 and i think off the top of ma head u only need to connect 6 of the 10 and for 250/255 max 232 and finnaly the 256 the chip needs to be flashed for that 1.....if u need and info on the pin outs for any of them let me know.
