    Question How can I tell if a 9-pin connector will work?

    The "old" cable came with the telescope and the connector did not have any manufacturer name on it. the "new" one I got was GEARMO, but it came with a mini DVD with drivers on it, and I am now trying to find a reader to get to the drivers....looks like the newer PCs don;t have those readers...

    Question How can I tell if a 9-pin connector will work?
