Hi DarkHelmet,

There is a few places that you can try....RS-Components, Communica (not a helpful bunch of people), Electrocomp, Futre - Electronics etc search on the net for there phone number.

I don't know how good your knowledge is of electronics....maybe you can try to build it yourself :wink:

Easy to build.

Use a MAX232 and few external components. Sch can be found in datasheets of the MAX232. There are IC`s around with the caps needed built in but the 232 is the most common one.
