Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The 2.3 might connect, but it also might slip off just when you're 
about to hit that crescendo. If you're not too far from Radio Shack, 
you could bring the module there and check the fit. A bunch of 
companies make universal adaptors with various connectors and all 
the other specs that you need--Belkin being one of them. You say 
that you're on the East coast. PC Connection in NH and on the web 
was carrying the Belkin--expensive, but you already spent $200. 
What's another $12 or so. You might try hardware stores, computer 
stores, or even Home Depot in your area by phone. Hold on. I just 
thought of something. I have a friend with a whole box of adaptors. 
Let me ask him.
