Buy a USB-Serial converter. Research them to get the best chipset.
eBay has converters with a terminal strip for attaching wires.
Connect two wires from the DC plug to the USB-Serial converter.
Nine pin D-Subs are not required.
I have never actually done this. So I don't know if it will work or not.
But if it works, it will only cost you $10 instead of $300.

If it is a standard RS232 connection, pins 2 & 3 are your transmit and receive
signals.

Thanks Joe, I was starting to think the same thing. Seems like a lot of
doing then un-doing that could be skipped, when all we're really after is a
tx and an rx.

If they only bring two conductors to the rear of your
PC, it seems likely that it will be an RS232 style
serial output at some format. The hard question
is protocol . . . continuous stream? Multi-word
records of data based on sample rate? Is there
a JPI unique application for the PC?
You could WAG it and build a cable that brings
the center-conductor to RX pin on the RS232
port. Fire up a generic dumb terminal app and
see if the PC decodes something intelligible.
You may have to fiddle with data rates . . .
You can but a 'scope on that output and measure
the width of a 'bit' to get into the ball park.

survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
