I am using an old mac to modem cable that has a serial looking connection on the end. I was lucky as It is one of those cables I picked up along the way while using macs. I also need a special adapter between it and the psx cable. See if you can find the other cable varient that is compatible with the mac. better still the mac tools have proven to be a very crap in comparison to the PC "man" there is a big difference. If can pick up a dirt cheap 386 pc i am almost sure you will have a lot more pleasure. I am sometimes using an old toshsiba labtop 386 4mb and appart from the dos crippling it becomes quite a pleasure to use when i use it. of course I had no cd rom drive and had to do manual disk/file transfers but with careful totting around I managed to get the system up and running. I got myself a G3 system and I'm quite proud of it but linked to the NY is not a very happening event.
