Whoops! I somehow missed the ST232CN information, although it was provided in the png schematic as well as earlier in this thread. So I will be using MAX232CPE.
Yes, I took note of the polarity. Unfortunately, I only had 2 tanatlum 1 uF caps in my bin, so I'll be using recycled 1 uF electrolytic caps.
One more question, is there any value in having C5? It is placed in parallel with the 4.7 uF cap, which would make the equivalent combination 4.8 uF.
