thanks dougy its working, but alas not meeting the desired criteria. The machine that is passing the 5V signal can vary the duration of the signal, mean that the throughput
of the machine can vary(the machine is passing 5V signal each time a smart card comes under it). The problem is that the 5V signal duration can vary. So, If I pass data
each 100msec to TxD pin and 5V signal is passed to short TxD with RxD pin and as a result data is returned back but I will unable to differentiate data corresponding to one
card than other. Lets Suppose that each 100msec an application is passing data to TxD pin and the diode(1N4148) is off. Now, a card comes under the machine and it passes
5V signal for 100msec duration corresponding to this signal diode is switched ON and data is received back on RxD, Smart card counted. But after it another card comes after 200msec gap
& again 5V signal is passed for 100msec duration so another smart card counted. But the problem comes if production is slow and cards are coming slower under machine,
then corresponding to each card the machine can vary 5V signal for 100-500msec duration. Now the applcation reads 5 cards corresponding to 500msec duration in place of
just one card. I think this problem can be solved by going back where we were, that passing 5V signal to CTS,DSR or RxD pin will generate an interrupt. By doing this each time
the pin goes from Low-> High, a card counted. But this is'nt possible with this prolific USB/RS232 adapter.
Tell me is it possible with this circuit ? **broken link removed**
