Correct. The 715/64, /80, and /100 use a external box as described. The connector that plugs into the back of the computer is similar to, but larger than, an HIL connector. The photo at http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/ps2_cable.jpg appears to be something homemade. If he had the proper connector to plug into the back of the 715 it might work, I don't know what else it could be. A real HIL to PS2 adapter is $400 and isn't so simple. -- E Frank Ball [EMAIL PROTECTED]
