Hello All, I have been reading your e-mails on being able to emboss from the mpower. If you contact Humanware, they will sell you a serial cable that costs $15.00 and it has a 25 pin on one end and a 9 pin on the other. I know this because I had to buy this cable for my tiger embosser. Hope this helps. Robert
