I am limited to ebay for purchasing the MAX232 chip. Do any or all of these variations work to build the interface? Which type of capacitors should I use for each?

I prefer the IN or N because the sellers live close.

Variations:
MAX232N
MAX232IN
MAX232CPE

Thanks!

All work. You may choose MAX232N and use 1uF (microfarad) electrolytic caps.

MAX232CPE needs 1uF (1 micro). You may use the electrolytics, and watch out the polarity.
