I suspect that the DIN8-DB25 cable may be the problem (even though it seemed to check out fine). I've managed to get it working on my PowerBook G3. Maybe the signal was too weak. Maybe there was too much noise. Or maybe there's a faulty cable. All I'm sure of is it's a problem with the cables/converters. Here's a question: is it possible to get a Playstation-USB serial cable? I doubt Sony makes such things at this time (or that they plan to). However, considering it is a universal type, it would be great for both Mac and PC programmers. Well, anyway, I've got the connection some-what working, but if anyone has an idea on how to better the connection, please respond. --Dave Romig, Jr. (drjr@drexel.edu)
