Is there a major store or some mail order place where I can buy an extra serial cable (the one that goes from the 64 to the 1541) ?? Mine broke recently, and I haven't been able to find one anywhere. The nearest Commodore dealers are too far away. ----------------------------------------------- Nick Rossi, '93 | "That's nasty, Wyatt..."

One place that may well have something like this are Commodore Service Centers. I think they tend to collect old dead systems (for "parts"), so may have a couple of extra serial cables sitting around. I know that is where I got a couple stepper motor screws for my 1541 when the heads got all cheesed up by fighting with the enamel with my screwdriver. Check a recent list of service centers to see if there is one near you, or maybe call one of those national send-away service centers that advertise in RUN and the like. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu USED to be rknop@jarthur.Claremont.EDU, but no more

I just saw a CMD add in the Gazette section of Compute, and sure enough, CMD advertises '30" high quality serial cables' for $3.95 + $1 S/H. The number to order is 800-638-3263. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu

Ok, on the same subject....where can I buy an extension serial cable for my C64? I'd either need a long (i have a 6 foot one from Sears, too damn short) one about 10 feet, or a cable with a male on one end and a female on the other.
