Any IKS users out there?

If so, what type of cable do you use to connect the thing to your PC? The manual says data/serial cable, but it doesn't look like any serial cable we have in the states. It's a round connection whereas the serial cables in the US are trapezoidal in shape. Not to mention I don't even have serial ports on any of computers now anyways, but that's a different problem....

Thanks in advance.

If your in america you could always get a pci card to add seriel ports to your pc

I know its a pita as these days most pc's dont come with these ports

Like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815150006

forgot to add if your using a laptop you could get a usb to seriel port adaptor like i,m using for my aquatronica

I believe you can get serial to usb adapters :)

it's not the serial to usb adapter problem. It's the what the heck kind of port is on the IKS. It doesn't look like a 9 pin or 25 pin serial port to me. I can't find a cable that'll fit in the thing in a computer store here.

I dont have one but it is probably a special cable you need to get from the people that make the IKS.

yes its specific to the IKS, called simply a data cable, and should be available from most IKS retailers.

i have one, and i extended it with a standard pc cable as my pc is about a 15 foot run from the tank.
