what if it's a DB-9 male to DB-9 male (ie. identical on both ends) cable, will that work? I've got one of those laying around, I'm hoping I can use it

it basically looks like this, only both ends are male:

Lol dude you are programming it with the zip file, try extracting the file from the zip and then reprogramming and you will be good to go.

Sorry about the stock situation guys, I have all the parts for the next batch of update cables sitting right next to me, they should be in stock in about two weeks.

For some reason you guys seem to sense when stocks are running low and the last few allways go quicker than we expected.

Cost me alot of time and money. Not a very happy camper right now. tried both ways and still got the same results from both. What could the problem be. Re downloaded the file and still get "this is not a SRecord loading Raw Data"

I was using serial to serail ran out and got usb to serial and get the same results from 3 computers. Same messages and vci 100 won't turn on.

this is crazy. already spent 200 and still no results. Already cost me more I had to pass my dates on to a buddy of mine to cover for me. I still getting the same thing both ways. I am using vci 100 with firmware 1.2. I wanted 1.3 for all the added features. Now I have nothing. I bought both types of connections, upgrade kit, overlay, arcade buttons kit, traktor pro to upgrade everything and can't use nothing. somebody please have pity on me and help me out of a bad spot

don't both ends need to be male, seeing as how the firmware upgrade piece is female? On my laptop the serial port is female as well - maybe it differs for other computers

20.10.2009
I was using serial to serial as described. I ran out and got a usb also and still the same thing happens as with the serial. i ran both ways on 3 computers and I am still DOA.
