Cable Question

Hello from Gregg C Levine
A 3:50AM ET, (US) question for all of you.
What sort of "serial cable", is the norm for the BS-2, and the BS-1.
with the adapter? I'm guessing that I can't use the MODEM cable that
has a DB9 connector at one end, and a DB25 connector at the other.
Ordinarily I'd fabricate my own, but since they do exist, I'd like to
find out what to ask for, if that's what is necessary.

And yes, I've got a project looming that's a real hummer, for mine.

    You need a DB-9 Socket (PC-Side) to DB-9 Pin
    (Stamp side) cable, wired STRAIGHT-THROUGH.
    You DON'T want a 'NULL-MODEM' cable, you
    want a MODEM cable, or a 'Mouse-extension'
    cable. That's the norm.
