Nevermind! It appears to be a standard serial cable.

Got it!

not only that....but you can also use a serial switcher box to move between your consoles without having to swap cables.

I'm embrarrassed to say that I only figured that you about a month ago....and I've been using the XArcade stuff for almost 3 years!  :angry:

Here's a link to the box that I picked up...it works great!

Seriously. Will it fit in my basement or what?
