Anyone know? Looking to use more then 1 serial device, thus I need the add on serial port which doesn't come with the m1000.

Mine came from an old AT tower I had lying around, so most any computer shop would be a good place to look for one. Lots of old motherboards were like that.

Heres one for example: http://www.cables4computer.com/produ...roupcode=I0632

Google may not help too much, but try Froogle. It gives you items and prices and can be sorted.

Any mom and pop computer shop will have a box full. Maybe a $1, $1.50 at the most.

This correct to a degree. Some of the older ones used a diferent pin setup. I had a bad one before getting one that worked.

i see... i have no clue where i got my serial cable so that might be the problem, but i can't even power a notebook usb drive via the bus at the moment.

I would try another serial adaptor before giving up on it.

just ordered an opus... we'll see if that fixes things as well

Or are you looking for the pinout for the board? it is in the user manual.

I could never get my second port working on my M9000 either. I don't think it's a power problem. I think the motherboard is flaky - the pins for the second connector didn't line up with the standard serial port plug.

The serial adapter on the M10000 uses the standard ASUS adapter. That's what I got, local computer shop guy gave it to me. That and a digital audio board from ASUS. Gonna try to hack that in during the rebuild. Digital audio (SPDIF and Optical) AND Composite video. May the force be with me.

good luck jackso.. i've practically given up on the onboard stuff on my m9000 hence my new vga and sound devices
