The 3 types they are working on to start with are ...
JP1P - traditional JP1 parallel
JP1S - traditional JP1 serial
JP1X - JP1.x serial
but I have asked them to also explore making some USB cables. The trouble is that Tommy has pretty much disowned the current USB design, but there isn't an alternative yet, so it's all we've got.

Rob, with 2 laptops, 3.2-3.5 volts, I've been using Filebug's ULTRA parallel cable with 8910. No battery tricks required. It just works. Always. Any chance those be built? Only today I saw a new post about Thinkpad clearly needing the ultra cable.
Good luck with the flood problems! That's bad news.

Liz,
This post suggests (heck, it states it outright!) that the new design here matches the performance of the ULTRA interface.

Yes, of course. I bet it works as well as ultra, I just re-read it. Thanks for the reminder

Hey, weren't you moving to the US?

Hello Robman,
I have learned that your area is suffering from flooding.
Could you confirm when you may send me 4 URC-9960's?

I just sold my last 9960 this weekend. I have some used 9960s if you're interested.

Not quite yet. I've had to take my computer desk apart so I can replace all the leg portions of it. I've already cut the replacement wood and am in the process of painting it. We still need to throw out all the bookshelves and cabinets.

Hey Yesok,
Give the guy a break! He's trying to get his house in order!
(Patience is a virtue!)
Thanks for your warm advice

I bought a parallel cable from Rob and it works with the T43 I have using XP SP2. I had to change the Parallel Port to use IO Resource Range of 0378-0379 on the Resource Tab and enable legacy Plug and Play support under Port Settings tab of LPT1
Try that and see if it helps

Sorry to hear about the flood.
I would like to get a URC-8910 with a USB or some other cable interface to my Thinkpad 43p. I have the old parallel cable (which I used with my wonderful 15-2116), but it does not work with the TP43p.
If you tell me which cable I need and how much it costs, I shall send you the money by PayPal.
Although I am eager to get it, your flood recovery is, of course a higher priority.
Thanks--
