Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Has anyone here used the special serial "to host" cables that 
apparently are available to connect the DTXpress to a computer?  How 
were the results?

My rig did not come with one, but the manual shows three examples.  
Surely they must make a USB version by now?

I have looked for this cable and have not found one.  Anyone know 
where to find one?

Is it worth it?

Alex

hey,
    i found one awhile ago at my local music store (pianos & stuff) 
but haven't really had the time to mess with it, but if you go into 
a music store look where they have the midi cables,and the snake 
cables for recording gear, that's where i found mine,and it was only 
about $8.00 (on sale) regularly $12.50 

you may also be able to find them online, mine is made by hosa  
pianos & stuff actually has a website too so you may wanna check it 
out at www.pnsmusic.com 

hope this helps

ps. the identification #'s on the package from mine are as follows : 
dbk-110 , db9(f)-din 8 (m) 10 ft. they have a few other types as 
well.. they were all basically around the same cost though..

no, it was just the cable,but i did find the driver you need for it 
online before,but it's installed in my other pc (my old one cause 
dude i gotta dell) sorry anyways i can see if i can find it in my 
old computer,and i know i did save the site where i found it,so it 
may take me a few days, but i can email with anything i may be able 
to find on it..

let me know and i'll start looking ok??

later,
