Any chance you could write up a description of how you made your own Synscan cable?
I can solder and follow instructions, I just want to know what I need to buy.
Is the Synscan cable really just a straight up connection of a RJ11 (??) cable to a RS232 plug, which merely requires the appropriate pins to be soldered in the right order, or does it have some smarts to it?
This one on eBay appears to be home made, just some bloke soldering them up in his shed. If I can buy the parts from an electronics place and solder them up in 10 minutes I might as well DIY too.
