Title: Soarer's Converter Compatibility
Post by: diazel on Tue, 13 October 2020, 15:43:17

I have a terminal M122 (PN: 1389160) and I just bought a replacement cord for it (5pin). I have a promicro that I had planned on installing and making my own converter but I'm realizing at this moment in time I'm too busy and don't know when I'm going to get around to it. That said, I have yet to use my M122 and it just sits there and stares at me.

My question is this: Having never used a Soarer's, which models would work with it "out of the box" if any? Would the one below work?

Yes, Orihalcon's cables work great.

Thanks! Ordered one and I'm excited to finally be able to use the beast.
