Better check which one is activated by your application (you can do it with voltmeter... If not active the voltage will be -5V ... -10V, if active it will be +5 ... +10V)
yes, I noticed this too. May be because it's for a palm serial cable.

Unfortunately I lost somewhere my spare 4n25 optocoupler. However I was able to re-built the one I used for palm by changing wires connection to DB9 pins.

It works now with DSLR Shutter on PC.
Thanks a lot.

2Astroman: I can confirm this too now 4n25 optocoupler works excellent and you can easily buy it from dick smith or jaycar for less than $2 :-)
