Connecting Lap top Via snake

Proud dad

I followed the forum postings and cut the DR 9 cable provided with my 260 and put xlr conectors Male on end and female on the other. Bought a new lap top, Redy to go to night and have my lap top at FOH via the snake. 1 problem. I cant conect the DR9 cable to my new lap top. The lap top has a female 15 PIN. lots of adapters out their to chose from. I need a Male to Male / what type ? (15 to 9 pin) (9 to 9 pin) VGA t- DIV? im lost now.

There is also an old post by Tom Cram that says the Belkin USB and Aten units worked also.

I'll do some more checking

Thanks for the help evryone. Im sitting at a gig and the sound is sounding realy!! good i will say the 260 is the best peice of EQ i have purchased for my PA. I got the drive rack running throw my snake after lots of running around this weekend between GIG,s Not much sleep latly but Sleep is over rated :P 5 Shows this weekend, The biggest inmprovement i have noticed is the vocals clarity and volume O and the Subs are really kicking right now to cream ,Stepping out drum solo was awsome.
Will post later with how i got everything run throw the snake and windows vista on my lap top 8)

Chances are that 15-pin is for an external monitor... Most newer laptops do not have 9-pin serial connectors... You will have to go with an USB to 9-pin serial adapter...
