9 pin - just look at the back of your EV

What about if I don't have the port on my computer, can I use the rs232 to USB one for my PC or does it have to be the 9 pin to 9 pin?

I'm restricted to what I've got because I'm using a laptop.

Cheers

You can use the usb one but its hit and miss whether it will work on not it could knacker your box up. I think there is a PCMCIA to rs232 for the laptop but im not sure how good these are either

hmmmm.... not sure if I want to risk it if it could knacker the box, would someone with the 9 to 9 pin be able to sort the box out if the USB cable did knacker it up?

The only thing that might knacker your box is the firmware if your box is a clone

I use a usb to serial lead on my laptop and it works perfectly. I plug it into the usb port, attatch the null modem cabel to it and it registers on com port 4. Communicates with the eurovox perfectly. Got it from a local computer shop.

Its made by GR Kabel if your interested.

Hope this helps.
