Thanks, Roland. I have the RJ-11that came with the camera but need a serial to RJ-11 adapter. The guide output on my ST-8XME with the CFW 9 is a serial jack instead of the RJ-11 jack on the CFW 8. I

I am beside myself with excitement (my wife thinks I have "gone round the bend" :>), because I heard from the good folks at Company Seven that my Mach1 will be shipping soon. Christmas in March.
