Hi CSA,

I just wanted to add to this that after I sent this to CSA2, I sent an email to
David at Retrofloppy.

He was able to bring down the cost of shipping from $75 to $46.50 which is a
good effort, unfortunately still a bit to much for my personal budget, however I
was impressed with his customer service and willingness to try to assist, so I'd
recommend retrofloppy, especially if you are in the USA as postage inland US was
only $5 when I tried a Boston ZIP code.

Regards,

I'd rather not have to buy a whole new SSC and a whole new set of cables, when there's a perfectly good communications adapter built right into the machine, but I cannot for the life of me find a 2GS (is that DIN-8) to DB9 connector.
