EQMOD to an EQ5?

Upgrading my Vixen GPD2 with the SW EQ5 Synscan upgrade kit. I have read that the EQ5 IS EQMOD-able - how exactly though?Do I need a USB - RS232 adapter?? Or???

I have a Shoestring USB - NEQ6 cable if anyone wants to tell me how to mod that?

There heaps of info and wiring diagrams on the eqmod site, should be easy as pie if you have a crimper and cat5 end to add to the end of your eqdirect cable you can also just get a heq5/eq5 cable from bintel if you wanna play it safe You could also just get a db9 and stick a cat5 on the end to save cutting up your eq6 eqdirect cable, also if its a old network cbale you only need to buy a db9 which will cost you $4

if you already have the cable then you would be better off making an adapter up. Would be a little cheaper.. Check out the wiring diagram on the sourceforge website.. http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/eqdirect2.htm
