Hi,
Im planning on changing across to using EQMOD software but would like some assistance to know about which cable to use.
If I buy the EQDIR adaptor as I understand it I need to buy a serial cable and a serial to USB converter (as my laptop is USB). In another post it states that the serial to USB converter is the "dicey" part and that some are "good" and others "bad".
Naturally I dont want to cause any damage. Is there a readily available serial to USB converter that works and can be recommended? eg. Dick smith or similar? I'd be quite happy to go down this route if I knew of a readily available adapter that would work.
I did see there was a 5v cable that goes from the mount to the laptop directly but the end of the TTL 232R cable had a "pitch header socket" and I had no idea how to attach this to the laptop USB.

Appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Cheers
