Defeating MAX232 and MAX 233.....

[Jan Panteltje]

Well, Vista is still far from irrelevant so whatever you were doing those
10 years... did not work, it seems Linux is loosing the desktop war.

What [desktop] war? Vietnam? Iraq? we know about those, and now 'Hollywood
against the rest of humanity?" I though more and more are going 'copy free'.
(Apple, EMI, Amazone etc).
In that case Vista was not needed - is not needed- and MS was wrong once again.

I appreciate the effort, though.

Thank you.

I have been running a Linux desktop for those >10 years, there is NOTHING it cannot do _BETTER_
then Vista, while on a slower machine, using less power, with less memory.

The MS programmers are plucked [like sour grapes] from some Unis, with hardly
any experience, then exposed to the collective MS bloat, brain washed, and then of course produce:
More bad MS bloat code.
Designed for a quick profit, not for performance.
In fact Vista performs about 10% less on the same hardware as the previous bloat XP.
And XP does about 100000% less then even a 5 year old Linux distro.

Yes, true, I looked up that data sheet, but it needs caps I think.
The MAX233 does not need caps on the charge pump I think.

But it is very expensive. A *3232 is much easier. Five 0603 100nf caps
(one for decoupling the supply) and you're ready to go.
