  The cable is an 8-pin mini-DIN to 9 pin D-SUB.....I built my  
  own.....just buy 2 of each end connector (about $6 for a total of 4  
  connectors), buy wire more than long enough to reach (typical about 26  
  cents a foot), and get a new tip with a small end for your soldering  
  iron. If you get a good soldering iron (not some $10 Radio Shack junk)  
  it will make an easier job of it. 15W soldering iron that costs around  
  $25 is reasonable, then test doing wires and soldering to a board that  
  is bad or something like that for practice. That is how you learn.....  
  in the beginning that is how I had to do it...

  PS- the reason a more expensive soldering iron helps is this: cheap  
  irons lose their heat and so as you solder, the iron loses strength and  
  you either don't get a good connection, or you have to hold the iron  
  there and it heats the plastic of the connectors (ruining the end). A  
  good soldering iron won't lose heat as fast and cause that to  
  happen....(solder stations won't really lose heat at all- at least  
  noticeable to the average user)

  Good luck,
  Ted
