Hi
Bearing in mind this comment, I'll add that there are two different things that the cable does.
1: Has the correct plug on each end, so that the cable can be plugged in.
2: Translates USB to serial. These are very different and in computer terms, is like translating ancient Greek into Japanese.


So, simply changing plugs doesn't help, as this does not do any translation.


Buying the cable is the easiest, having said that, I think the telescope makers should have shifted to USB some time ago.


Good luck


Philip
