Wait, is this a SCSI device, or a serial device? RS-232c is NOT the same pinout as the Apple 25-pin SCSI, and you'd better make sure nothing is damaged! You'll need to use a Mac mini-DIN serial to RS-232 converter cable. These are easy to find and fairly inexpensive, especially at car boot sales. This will connect to the modem/printer port on the back of your 1400, and to the RS-232 port of your shortwave radio receiver. I'm hoping nothing is damaged ... :-/ -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
