What if someone makes a cable for you so you can still enjoy the testing? I think I have some USB cables I hacked up when I did my Xbox Cluster a few years back. If I can find that your more than welcome to it. All I did was hack the square end off to attach it to a normal Xbox cable end, allowing me to use a keyboard on my Xboxs once I hacked them and installed Linux. I may even have a 3.5mm jack end or two. I cant do this myself right now due to work and classes (Finals next week) but I can surely locate the hardware and set it aside for ya.

I'd honestly love to get into this stuff but my color-blindness would probably make me go insane :) Chris Gerling Jr. Web: http://www.chrisgerling.com Podcast: http://www.hak5.org | http://www.securabit.com On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 2:36 PM, Robin Wood <dninja at gmail.com> wrote:2008/12/5 Larry Pesce <larry at pauldotcom.com>:Yeah, unfortunately, it will affect it. :-( The "stuff" in the middle, is at a minimum a TTL level shifter. Pry that bad boy open and trace the pinout to the chip specs :-)It feels like it has just been sealed in rubber, it isn't a nice plastic case unfortunately.Or pick up an FTDI cable form LadyAda...I'll give Tims idea a go and if not then I'll have a look at LadyAda.

Not sure if that will affect it but I'll certainly give it a go.
