Naming the RX and TX lines in a standard way on a serial port is tricky because of the whole null modem situation. Do you name them according to what lines you're connecting to those pins, or according to what those pins do? And even then, those concepts shift depending on which end of the cable you're looking at. Personally I think the nomenclature of the individual pins is kind of arbitrary and you just have to know whether your connecting cable is straight or crossed.


Simple. The pins should be named by what they do on that device not what connects to that device. i.e. data comes out on the TX pin.

I still can't understand why the empeg guys did the sled connector the way they did. See here for what's wrong with their choice in my opinion.
