A question for #visionscience:
We have a PR650, but don’t have the serial cable they came with back in the day. Does anyone happen to have the pinout for this connector? The manual says it’s RS232 serial, but this is some mutant 12-pin mini-DIN thing.

I got a chance to scan this comic that a colleague has kept on his door for years (in case you're wondering of the origin, this was from Bruce Schneider here at UTM)

The tart shell needs prebaking, which may not be in this recipe…
![Salted Caramel-Chocolate Tart [adapted from David Lebowitz]
For the crust:
1.5 c flour
2 tsp sugar
0.5 tsp salt
1 stick butter
1 egg yolk
4 tsp sour cream OR liquid cream
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, process until a dough forms. If it's too dry, add more sour cream until it's cohesive. If it's powdery, you'll have a hard time. Once the dough forms, press it into a tart pan, covering the base and going up the sides.
For the caramel-chocolate filling:
1.25 c sugar
90 ml espresso
1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
6 oz dark chocolate (> 70% cacao)
2 large eggs
0.25 c flour
1 tsp vanilla extract [flaky salt for garnish]
Preheat oven to 350F.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:djlgboerup6tpxs7vbx23k6g/bafkreieez4az3ak6r6b264lq7lec2u2roef7cqxm4hyymx6eaqynom4gvm@jpeg)
![Preheat oven to 350F.
Make a dry caramel over medium heat (until the sugar smokes slightly). Turn the heat off, then add the butter, stir, then the coffee, stir [note: it might seize up here; if it does, turn the heat back on and stir until it loosens up].
Add the chocolate, stir. Add the eggs and the vanilla extract. Add the flour, and stir until glossy. Pour into the unbaked tart shell. Place tart pan on a sheet tray to catch any mess, then bake 15-20 min until puffed at edges.
Once it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the top with a liberal amount of flaky salt. Cool completely before](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:djlgboerup6tpxs7vbx23k6g/bafkreih5gecc6diojvskdfwtmel7wots27hmik6ygsy5rw7dapmncd3llq@jpeg)
