I was mostly waiting for someone else to reply. If by the middle of next week, no one else has provided a reference (perhaps bitsavers has the manual), then I will try and find the cable. The breakout board for BOTH a BA23 and the BA123 are NOT compatible with the cable for the DM01!!!!!!!!!! If you read the description of the cable needed for the DM01, you immediately realize it is totally different than what the RQDX3 uses. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.
