I've found the Palm Mac serial adapter does a dandy job of connecting PC-style DB9F cable ends to a Mac serial port. They're widely available for under $5, try eBay for starters.
If you already have the PC cord that may be your best bet hardware-wise. Else as others have mentioned a DB25serial--Mac serial cable (sold as a Mac modem cable) should do the trick. You don't mention what port the radio has but obviously I've assumed DB25. I have no idea what you do with the hardware once you've rigged it up though. >I have tried using my SCSI/Dock adapter with the RS-232c, but the >receiver doesn't show up as a SCSI device in the Apple System Profiler <G> I sure hope you didn't fry anything, as you're now no doubt aware Mac SCSI doesn't attach to PC serial. :-O Dan K -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
