What cable is used to connect this to PC and where can you purchase one.
Thanks

I ended up making mine. It's a PS2 connector on one end and a 9 pin serial on the other. I literally cut the end off an old mouse or keyboard and soldered on the DB-9. Cost me like 2 bucks.

Not really, just cheap!

I think the pinouts are in one of the Triton Manuals. If you're handy with a soldering iron, it's a 5 or 10 minute job.

no. it's a proprietary serial cable. I'd recommend a good MIDI to USB adapter.

Would that really work? I think TO HOST is a 8 pin connector and PS/2 is 6 pins with an orientation 'prong', isn't it?

Edit: mistyped PS/2 pin count
