I would think you'd need an adaptor (something with circuitry inside it), to convert between the two very different types of interfaces. It won't be merely a cable with different plugs at each end (well, you might find a cable which has embedded circuitry in a connector, but it's not *merely* a cable). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
