196 with USB?

[ihavoki]

Has anyone found out if this works or not? It has not worked for me, I've done a factory reset and all...and nothing yet
I don't have the correct rs232 cable so I can't do it that way (by the way, can someone link me to a site where I can buy the 232 cable for the cs7000).

any site sponsor or any local computer store

Thanks for the quick reply
Would this be the correct cable?

Out of curiosity, how can I tell which one is the correct one? I've got a black cable that looks similar to that...both ends look exactly the same....there is an arrow pointing which way is up, there are 9 holes, on the top row 5 holes, on the bottom row 4 holes.

some use a straight through cable and some use a null cable
the ony way to test would be with an omh meter
a null cable has 2 wires crossed i think it is 1 & 6

That unit requires a Straight DB9 & USB

Is this to say that the USB bin update is not working with the CS7000? That might explain why I seem to have everything right but get nothing but scrambled.........
