[Ham-Mac] Need Part Number for data cable

[Dick Kriss]

Hal KE7BYN,

Have you tried using the Palm PDA Mac Adapter with USB/Serial adapter to
interface a radio to a Mac?   I would hate to order one and find it will not
work with the Keyspan USA-28X and the TS-570

The pictures look good.  I have a Newton-to-PC cable with the right
connectors (Mini-8 to DB-9); however, it does not work.
