I don't understand what I'm looking at here. Why does this ALDL cable have the box in the middle and the one from ALDL cable .com not have the box?

ALDL.COM CABLE http://aldlcable.com/

Just another way to skin the cat? Unneeded features?

I'm not sure on the 1st one. I see dip switches that may have something to do with adding a 10K Ohm resistor, shorting pins A&B, 160 Baud (pin E), 8192 Baud (pin M), etc.

I have the ALDL.COM cable, it has jumpers that do that and, IIRC pins E and M are connected internally so it'll read either when connected.

Maybe just making it more complicated than it has to be???? Like using a whole pile of lumber to build a bridge when all you need is a 10 foot 2x12. lol Thanks!
