Chris, when Peter comes home I'll get out the cable and get him to tell me what you want to know, I had to buy it for my laptop to BN as I couldn't get it to work cable-wise in any other way, I found this off the braille light group, but the cheapest anyone had bought was £30 and I wasn't going to pay out that much, its Only a cable with the right ends on it! lol Christine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 1:23 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Serial cables > Right OK.
