I can't check all the details right now but I believe this is the USB to
db25 male null modem cable I posted about a few months back. Though the
price at that time was $25 not $45.

Also, I think the housing is too thick for the M100 but there was
somebody on the list that tested it with both the 102 and 200 and it
worked fine.

If you were building one I would recommend an all in one cable that
hooks straight from a USB port to any model t particularly the model
100 with no adapters necessary.
Also it should be full null rather than defeating flow control as the
old complink cable did in order to support programs like HTERM which
rely on flow control.
And ftdi is the only way to go on Windows.
Maybe a very small pcb that can be built into a thin hood shell with a
surface mounted ftdi chip and max232?
All that said you could accomplish mostly the same thing by simply
aggregating the proper OTS parts and software and offering it for sale
as a package with documentation. That way it takes out all the
research and guesswork and that's the real trouble.
