Possible KXUSB to K2 KIO2 adapter?

[k1-4 user]

After computer upgrade, my Serial board no longer functions with my K2.

Would it be possible to build an adapter using my KXUSB to the KIO2 special
cable on the K2?

Rob,

Yes, that is possible.  Get a stereo jack to replace the DE-9 connector
on the computer end.
Connect the red wire to the ring of the jack, the green wire to the tip,
and the black wire to the shell.

If this is only a temporary measure, get a DE-9 male connector in
addition to the jack and make up an adapter.
The ring of the jack connects to pin 2 of the DE-9, the tip to pin 3 and
the shell to pin 5.
Plug the existing DE-9 female into your male adapter and plug the KUSB
into the stereo jack.
