Need an adapter for RS232 25-pin female <-> Mac DIN female (round connector). I have a hayes 2400 Baud modem came along with a Prodigy software. The modem has two signal lines, one connects to a phone jack, and the other connects to the back of a Mac SE/30. Everything works well. Now I want to use this modem to my old IBM XT (a clone , of course). SO I need an adapter that has one end as 25-pin male connector and the other end as a female Mac DIN round connector (the same as the back of a Mac SE/30). I've tried nearby computer stores without luck. Can anyone out there give me a pointer? Thanks. lien, lien@usc.edu

Hayes has exactly the connector you're looking for. If you had purchased the modem with PC software instead of Mac software, the connector would have been included with the modem, free of charge (believe it or not). Anyway, you can probably get the adapter for next to nothing from Hayes Customer Service at 404-441-1617 (8am-6pm EDT Mon-Fri). Just tell them you have a Personal Modem 2400 and want the DIN-8 to DB-25 cable adapter so you can use it with your PC. -- Toby -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-449-8791 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
