Question

Got my GVD today with a serial hookup since I use Win95. Only problem - I have 2 serial ports, one taken up by Powerchute software for my UPS and the other one, which is free has a female connector, as does the end of the cable for the Handspring serial cable. Do I have to go to Radioshack or something and get a male connector to fit on it? Will that work? (There was another connector in the box with a male end on it and the other end with a keyboard connector - supposedly that is for a Mac and I don't see how it would help me).
Your thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark
Incidentally, took a few weeks to get my visor - came with serial cable, so nothing was on backorder

Ok, color me very embarrassed! I've got so much crap plugged in the back of my computer I missed the other serial port which obviously has a male end. I was looking at my game port. Duh!!!!! Pretend you never saw this!
