I apolgize, I did not make my question very clear, in light of the
discussion of the Mac USB to serial connector. DOes anybody know if this
adapter might work on a PC? In other words, 1) will a USB to DB9 work? and
2) will a USB to Din 8 work on a PC?

Man, if a USB to Din8 will work, I could ahve solved this cable problem a
long time ago.

Thanks!
Drew
