Now, I used to be able to download to my PowerMac 7100 using the Playstation-DB9 cable, the DB9-DB25 converter, and the custom DB25-DIN8 cable. When I got my PowerBook G3, I bought a Micro Connector's USB Serial Adapter for Macintosh. The PSComUtil provided by Metrowerks would temporarily switch the sound input to internal modem when used but the console output window would stay blank. Now here's the peculiar part. I got the downloading utility to connect by connecting an RCA sterio-1/4 sterio jack converter to my Playstation's RCA audio out port and plugging it into my PowerBook's sound input port on the back. And it will not work without it. I'm not sure why. Thanks, Sean, for telling me about the Belkin's cable and the allusb.com site. It looks like my current cables should be fine, though. --Dave Romig, Jr. (drjr@drexel.edu)
