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.

Have been to Maplins in the past, thought they were a bit pricey.

Maplin do have what you need if you look but TiredOfLife is right, they are pricey. The null modem cable, plus the gender converter you would need would come to £15
But I just thought of another site I used to use a lot called http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk and they have some very good prices.
I just looked and they have a 9pin female to 25pin female cable for £5.77:

And you would need a gender changer for the 9pin end which costs only £0.95p:
http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...products_id=42
So that is much cheaper at a combined price of £6.72p. Hope that helps.

I already have a Null modem cable, so wouldn;t need to buy one. I use it for other things though as well.
I need to buy some 9 pin an 25 pin connectors anyway so I'll just make my own.
