In theory, I think that you are right. However, for whatever reason on his Windows install (same hardware, I just formatted the drive) he had a hard time configuring it to send digital. There is some software tool especially made for pendants to check this in Windows :) He does not want to buy a new cable when the current cable works fine. He just wants to know that it is digital. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
