You can start by calling Sony. However, when I called them several months ago
about the main HD-30 adapter, they said they only had one left and after that
no more. I didn't even get around to asking about the DB 25 adapter, although
I know they made on at one point as someone once complained about how much
money Sony wanted for it. Anyway, if they have them let me know as I've just
about given up on finding a HD-30 Male to HD-30 Female gender changer in order
to use it with my existing HD-30 to DB-25 cables, or even an HD-30F to DB-25M
cable. I find it somewhat surprising that no one ever seemed to have made such
an animal. However, I have contacted Global Computers to see about having a
custom cable made, which they claim they can do, but they have yet to quote a
price for me as I have yet to provide the pin-out configurations :-). But, I
have a sneaking suspicion it will be expensive!
