Today's factoid - there is no RS-232!

[Karl W4KRL]

The Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) once labeled all its standards
with the prefix "RS" (Recommended Standard), but the EIA-TIA officially
replaced "RS" with "EIA/TIA" to help identify the origin of its standards. The
EIA has officially disbanded and the standard is now maintained by the
Telecommunications
Industry Association (TIA). The RS-485 standard is superseded by TIA-485,
but often engineers and applications guides continue to use the RS
designation.
