gambba Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Joe, there are other chepaer alternatives available. There is people out there making the cables or supplying kits to make up the cables yourself, maybe someone can confirm the supplier, I think it's Spk......or similar. Blue: *deleted this part cause of illegal advice* Just an idea..............sorry Ram to step on your toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 ordering from Ross-tech manufacturers in US is very quick. i ordered one in the afternoon ,7th Jan and it was here on the 9th. i later sold it, as i never did get round to getting a laptop, and it was just sitting around unused.
