Hi there, 

To connect the yaroze, you just plug the cable that came with it into the
back of the Playstation (looking at the back, its the socket on the left)
and the other end into a nine pin serial port on the back of your PC. If you
are using a Mac, then you will need to get hold of a Macintosh modem cable
(8 pin male din on one end, 25 pin male serial plug on the other end) and
plug that into a converter that converts your 25 pin male end to a 9 pin
male end. Then you just plug the 9 pin end of the Yaroze lead into that. If
you are using a Mac then you will also need to invest in a copy of
CodeWarrior for the Yaroze in order to actually write any code. You will
still need to copy across the libraries and include files from the included
PC CD ROM though. 

If you are using a PC then just dump the PC CDROM that came with your yaroze
into the CD Drive and copy everything to your C drive. 

From that point on, look at the getting started guide to geta simple program
compiled and downloaded. There is an equivalent guide included with
Codewarrior if you are using a Mac, or even if you bought Codewarrior for
the PC. 

Once you have followed the startup guides and got a simple example program
compiled and uploaded to the Yaroze, browse through the member's homepages
on the Yaroze Europe site and you'll find quite a lot more code to play with
as well as some excellent tutorials out there as well. 

Good luck, 

Peter Wright.
