thanks -- i'll work thru these tomorrow.

don't know how many pins there are in the cable but it's way more than 
the number found in a midi cable (3, right?).  the cable for the g10 is 
round like a midi cable and about the same size -- without going back 
out into the studio, i'd say there was somewhere between 7 and 10 pins. 

i'll log onto yahoo tomorrow and post messages in the groups that you 
suggested. 

thanks again and have a happy and prosperous new year!
