Looking for a bit of help here. I'm trying to update my Eurovox Red with the latest software I can find (01.06.07) but I've just discovered my lap top doesn't have a RS232 port so I've got to pick up a USB adaptor. The problem is that the EuroVox has a 9 pin male socket and the only USB adaptors I can find online are USB to Male aswell.Anyone know where I can pick up a USB to Female 9 pin ????
You need to use the adapter in conjuntion with the null modem cable. As in usb adapter to usb port in the pc. Plug the null modem cable into the other end of the adapter and then into the Eurovox
Thanks sc)user, Now,just think of me as thick for a minute . This null model cable you speak of, should , I assume, be female on both ends ?(I'm only asking cause there seems to be various types),thereby allowing me to connect this male adaptor,which I've yet to buy,into the female null and the other end of the null into the Eurovox.....ummmm , yes,that makes sense...I think ! Sorry for being stupid !
LOL not a stupid question at all. All of what you have assumed as per my reply is correct. Here is some info on what you require. They are from Maplins but you can get them much cheaper on fleabay.

Sorry about the typo in my previous post ! Fair play to you,that's as I thought,fleabay as you so aptly put it has been hit and the relevent bit's and pieces located and purchased. Thanks again.
