I was wondering if i can make a cable for this remote using a usb cable and not a serial type of cable, provided i use the proper wire to wire connections, ie. ground to ground , send to send & receive to receive .
i found this remote at an Arc store for a dillar fifty lol ,, trying hard to keep this as cheap as possible as not to lose the essence of "the find"
Thanks anyone for a reply !!!!!!

Here's what you need to know for the pinouts: [Link: surfremotecontrol.com]The part numbers may have changed since I made this many years ago. You need a serial-to-USB adapter (and not every brand will work) to use the remote with a USB connection. Mike

Yes this is how you do it: Damn, I don't know why I spent a few dollars and bought one. I could have just done this for free.
