just a thought, when i plugged my 50 CDR into my U2W chain, i had to buy
an adaptor for it.  got it from one of the cable junction stalls at the
fairs.  the guy who sold it too me really knew his stuff, and started
going into techno bable that i didnt understand about.  cant remember
what it was, but i explained what i had, what i wanted todo, and he sold
me the right thing for the job.

i know thats not much help, but if your thinking of buying another
cable, ask the vendors first about your setup.  it cant hurt.

 We don't really understand it,
 so we'll give it to the programmers.
