im missing something what is the 3 resistor circuit? all of the ones on the winaldl site are 4 resistors....?
I figured out what it is. Jobe figured out that a resistor needed to be added for caberated vehicles since I last looked at that schematic. Leave R4 out and you have it.
okay so like this? http://69.14.144.159/interface.gif (same link new pic) i love learning lmao i just feel dumb doing it sometimes so i need 3 10k resistors and a transistor for each cable as well as headphone jacks/plugs and a serial cable ... then some apliance solidcore wire got it lets see what i can do

hey dodge thats a great idea.... lol might have to do something like that ^_^ i have a couple serial connectors layng around from a custom client terminal cable i had to make for a cisco switch i had (now that was difficult to wire) and lots of wire but no solid core
Follow the link to the FTDI web site and look at FTDI's TTL-232R product.
Update #1: The FTDI FT232R chip family wll not work ... because it won't operate at the low bit rate (160 baud) of the Fiero ECM. Due to hardware design limitations, the slowest the serial side of the FT232R will operate appears to be ~183 baud.
Update #2: FTDI's technical support has confirmed that "The minimum baud rate with the FT232R is 183 baud - there is no way to obtain lower baud rates."
Ah, well. Back to the drawing board!

Ok, I have a question. I have an 87 that I am putting a 327 with TPI in. Is there any logging/data aquisition/tuning programs I can use for this application? Anyone ever thought/ did this type of swap? The ECM is off of an 85 vette with TPI, as is the TPI intake. Let me know, and thanks in advance.

Given that it is from an '85 'vette, the ECM may possibly be one that WinALDL will support. You need to check your specific ECM model number against the list of supported ECMs posted on the WinALDL web site.
If WinALDL won't work, there are other PC-based software scan tools available at a reasonable price.

Jazzman's original thread for building an ALDL cable no longer has the pictures. (Would be really nice if he did it again since his Mark II cable looked slick) So for the electronically challenged, this has pictures:
