- I bought one of these 8 years ago from Tigertronics they're in L.A.
- Sorry, but I gave it away so you can't buy mine, and I don't have the
- phone/address. Try 800 or 411 for L.A. (area codes 213,814,310,etc)

- A better bet may be Black Box.

- Hope this helps.

- P.S. 8 Years ago 3 out of 4 computer stores would try to sell me a
- printer cable when I asked if they had a parallel to serial converter!!
