Andrew,
What do you mean, the "weird serial cable"? It should be a pretty
straightforward serial cable. The odd thing with a stock MP2x00 is that you
have to use an adapter, called the "interconnect" adapter, or the infamous
"dongle" in order to use your regular serial cable with an MP2x00. Unless
you have a special serial cable that comes with the interconnect plug?
