External serial port connector for P5B-E motherboard?

The P5B-E motherboard has a single serial port that's not brought out to
the rear panel. The book shows a connector module that mounts in an
expansion slot with the note "The serial port module is purchased
separately."

Is there some place I can lay my hands on one of these? There's no
indication of a part number in the book.

An "AT-Everex" perhaps ?

There are two wiring standards for adapters. AT-Everex and DTK.
Pccables carries both of them.

Asus motherboards should all use the same standards. So
if one Asus uses AT-Everex, they all should. I don't
recollect any instances of users finding their *modern*
Asus motherboard was a DTK.

For reference, this is the link to the DTK flavor.

And this is the guy who did the original research and concluded
the 07120 was the correct one.

I tried to reach estore.asus.com today, but got no answer, so
perhaps they're out of business. They sell accessories for
Asus motherboards, but only in a "half serious" way. There
probably wasn't enough volume in that business, for it to stay
open.

That certainly looks like what I'm after; at the price, I could order one
of each just to be safe.

Thanks!

It might be far simpler to provide the vendor
with the specific model/version of the motherboard.
Failing this, send the spec sheet for the pinouts
of the serial port header on the motherboard. It
can be found in the motherboard manual.

I have the manual here, e2779_p5b-e.pdf.

No pinout, and no "name" for the type either. Just a
stick art diagram showing the connector is 2x5 with
a keying pin missing, which matches both the AT-Everex
and the DTK. On page 58 of 158 pages total.

And if I do a site search against asus.com , I don't find
"AT/Everex" on the site, on say support.asus.com .

So you're left to figure it out on your own.

A site like estore.asus.com would have carried them,
for North American customers. But that site appears
to be gone.

A poster on vip.asus.com suggests the "V1" connector here,
and if you compare it to the 07120 Everex photo, of how the
ribbon crosses over before being soldered to the solder-tail
9 pin D-sub, it's te same wiring.

You'd think so, but that's not the case.

Yes, it's pretty annoying that Asus doesn't include that. I lucked out
and found a suitable adapter for my P5Q Deluxe in the box of some older
Asus motherboard. Of course that was after I managed to buy the wrong
kind of adaptor.

I Have A8N-SLI Premium And It Has A Serial Port Connector COM1. If
You Get The Manual For The Site Page 2-25 You Can See. Part Number On
The Bag Is "14G000020093". Found This Site.
