    I got a Supra Express v90 serial modem today. Can't test it yet though due to lack of a cable. I'll have to order one as I don't have one.

    Had to go and collect it from someone in Worksop earlier. Got to play Deluxe Galaga on his A1200 Tower with Scandoubler as well while I was there.

    My first modem was a Diamond Supra Express 56k v90. The later blue one. Great external modem. I never had any problems with it and it is still working and stored away in its box in case I need a modem in an emergency.

    I think that will be the one I have as it is Diamond branded and is blue.

    Do you know how old it is? It's just that some of the CDs that came with it are for AOL/CompuServe etc which mention Windows 95, but one of them is an AOL 100 hour free trial which has instructions for Windows XP.

    I bought mine new in 1998 and I think it came out that year. An older non v90 version was out before this. I remember also getting free AOL/Compuserve discs with mine too. I expect the other XP on wasn't originally with it.

    Does anyone know where I might be able to find a serial cable to connect this to the Amiga? It needs a 9 pin male - 25 pin female cable and I can't find one anywhere.

    BTW, I am assuming that AOL no longer send free 1x0 hour trial CDs any more?

    You probably have a nullmodem cable lying around, right? Finding a converter for one end of that might be easier, 9-pin F to 9-pin M or something?

    Why does no one ever look on Maplin? Go to www.maplin.co.uk and look at the computer cable section. They have serial gender changers including a 9 to 25 pin changer, and 25 to 9 pin cables.
