 		 #103993 - To RS232 or not to RS232
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't know how to call properly a "multidrop 5V open-collector asynchronous communication link", but RS232 is more than just the voltage levels defined.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS232 said:
The EIA standard RS-232-C as of 1969 defines:

* Electrical signal characteristics such as voltage levels, signaling rate, timing and slew-rate of signals, voltage withstand level, short-circuit behavior, maximum stray capacitance and cable length
* Interface mechanical characteristics, pluggable connectors and pin identification
* Functions of each circuit in the interface connector
* Standard subsets of interface circuits for selected telecom applications
