Title: x-arcade PCB - I've lost the serial connect - can I use a standard serial?
Post by: leapinlew on June 09, 2006, 12:43:01 am

I lost the cable on the left in the attached picture. Is this just a standard serial connetion?

Anyone know?

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!
