Sticking with Amazon, I think I posted the link to this before. '2m 2
metre Lead Serial Null Modem Cable DB9 Female - DB9F'
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EUBAK3C) for £1.78. If you don't
have a serial port on your PC, you'll be wanting this as well, 'USB to
RS232' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00077DJIQ) @ £2.24.

Maplin..... Here's feeling old again. I remember when their business was
supplying electronic components. Got a shock when I walked into one of
their new-fangled shops a couple of weeks back. First thought was that
I'd walked into a branch of Currys by mistake! ;)
