I don't have a cable for you but these guys might. There is a great Magic
Cap discussion list that I was on for quite a while about 2 years ago. I
believe it still exists. Just send an e-mail to...

LISTSERV_at_BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU

And put, "SUBSCRIBE MAGICCAP" in the body text (or is it the subject line...
ahh hell, I always get that listserv stuff backwards).

Anyhoo... if there's still stray gear to be had, they'd be the group to
poll.

PLAN B:
If you already have a serial cable for your Magic Cap device made for PC,
making an adapter to Mac serial port isn't too tough. There's pinouts for
both types of serial connectors all over the net. There's really only 4
critical wires that need to be matched up. Just something to consider.

Cheers,
