I started to put together the 4030 based circuit for connecting the Sega
specs to RS232 thats stashed on karazm. I'm finding something ambigous
and if anyone who has used this can straighten me out, please do!

In the ASCII-matic,  the 3-conductor jack's terminals are denoted
as "centre", "middle", and "outside". I can't distinguish between
"centre" and "middle". A 3-conductor jack to my eye has an
"inner-most" terminal which makes contact with the tip of the plug,
a "middle" terminal which makes contact with the middle of the plug
(between the 2 grooves), and an "outer-most" terminal which makes
contact with the base of the plug.

I don't have any information on the Sega circuit or the 4030 so I
can't resolve this from the rest of the electronics.
If anybody has this working or knows about the Sega or 4030 and can
translate for me, Thanks!!!
