TT,

Can I take a standard USB cable, cut one end off and make it where it will plug in the ALDL port. I'm not sure how many wires are in a USB cable. My laptop does not have a serial port, so I will have to go USB. I would like to start gathering info with WinALDL to see how I'm running.
 
Will a serial cable plug into the ALDL port? I can buy the ALDL cable from Win ALDL in USB, I'm just trying to save some money. I not sure if I will need a 10K resistor in the circuit or not.

I'm Cheap
 
Don't know. Think I missread your original post, I thought your were trying to rig to a USB connection because you didn't have a serial connection.
 
Make it easy on yourself, go to http://www.aldlcable.com and buy one, comes with a cd with winaldl and some other stuff. Beats soldering for hours working on a cable that will never be as nice and reliable.
