It appears that the 2116 has a JP-1 connection
that requires only that I get a cable & plug it
in, rather than go through a soldering/redesign
loop. Is that correct?
Correct... all you need is the cable (but read on).
More importantly, I have seen the info that talks
to using a PC and downloading information rather
than manually programming the unit. A couple
of questions:
1) How/where do you attach the JP-1 cable to the
computer? Is it a USB connection?
The current JP1 cable designs all use the PC parallel port.
2) Is the JP-1 link/software compatible with Apple
Macintosh - I have a new Apple G4 IMAC. (If pushed,
I might be able to use my PC at work, but I'd
prefer the MAC)
All of the JP1 software tools currently work only on a PC running Windows (IR.exe) and Excel 97 or later (KM).
For JP1-specific questions, you'd do better asking them over at the JP1 group:
