Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Both modules are similar (DTXPress II), so I will not lose any features.

In reference to zapaxe, I don't have the 9-PIN cable in here, and it's so 
difficult to get it. Anyway I'm asking the question to receive a solution, 
but if no solution, then I'll fight to get this TO HOST cable.
