Approximately 6 feet long, made with shielded cable. Converts the Apple IIc or Laser 128 modem port to a female DE-9 connector, typical on PCs with RS-232 serial ports. If you have a PC without RS-232 serial ports, you would also need a USB adapter, below.

6' Cable: USD$8.95
USB to RS-232 Adapter - Macintosh or Windows
Converts a Macintosh or PC USB port to a male DE-9, RS-232 connector. This, coupled with one of the null modems above, will complete the circuit from a modern Mac or PC that only has USB ports to an Apple II.
This adapter uses the FTDI chipset, not the lower-cost Prolific chipset which is usually poorly cloned in very low-cost adapters, making them unreliable.
Drivers for Mac OS X and Windows are available from the manufacturer's website. Note that on a PC you will need to map the new COM port in the COM1 to COM4 range if the driver happens to install itself higher, for example COM6.
