Yes you can mate theres a new revised tut out now (rev2) where you dont need the sa3 sector and can use the 232 to do the job,

If you take alook at the haynes calbe modem guide theres a diagram in there mate,its rs232 one end with a 4 pin header the other,(tut attached)they are very simple to make mate under a fiver i spose last time i did one, (altho mine was a 233 only slight diff)(new revised tut attached also)

Hello there, make sure you don't get a max232 cable mixed up with a serial 232 cable.

Max232 goes from a 9 way d-type serial connector from the PC to a 4 or 5 way connector at the other, and usually has small circuit board attached in between containing the max232 chip and several resistors (4 usually I think).

Serial 232 cable or Null Modem cable has the 9 way d-type connector at BOTH ends and is used to program the Eurovox Max, etc..

Hopefully these two quickly took shots will enlighten you as to which is which

Chris.
