Mark, I already have the firewire version anyway, and as a Mac freak, there is little better than firewire anyway. In fact unless I am mistaken, the only IS cameras that work with PHD are the firewire ones anyway.
So, that settles it, I'll try it. But the consensus now is I need a cable, correct? Something fit fit between the PC (USB or Serial) and the mount (RJ11). GPUSB or the one listed above in Matt's post. I would still like to build my own if possible, any ideas?

Gary,
Yes you will need the GPUSB, which will plug into a USB port on your laptop/desktop and the other end plugs into the RJ11 guide port on your mount (No serial to USB required).
Shoestring sell both the GPUSB and the cable.
Have not seen a home made version of these so I cannot comment, but I would say its not worth the hassle.
PHD works with both USB and Firewire DMK's, that's what I have been using with my DMK.
Cheers
Mark
