Hi,

I have a Casio BOSS SF-9000, which can communicate with an IBM PC
through a special RS232 connector (the connector has some IC built into it).

I want the BOSS to communicate with my Unix workstation instead.

I figured out (I think) how to connect that special RS232 to the
serial port of my workstation, but I can't get them to talk,
because I don't know the protocol (Whatever I try the BOSS displays 
"transmit error!").

Any suggestions?  Does Casio divulge such information?
The company that provided the connector and the associated PC software
would not give such information.

Thanks!
