[App_rpt-users] URI active low?

[mike at midnighteng.com]

I had made a interface to a cat1000 but from the PPort some years ago.
Don't use it anymore.

And I suggest using a transistor buffer in any case.
I doubt that the URI can sink enough current without it.

2n3904/06 work well.

I used opto-coupled transistors to isolate it. Can be overkill but limits RFI and
lightning/spike damage.
