I have just got my hands on a Control Lab Interface, sadly with no pc connection cable and no software, and I am kindly asking for some help please. Firstly would anyone be able to tell me the connections between the 9 pin connector on the back and a pc (be it 9 or 25 pin serial)? Secondly, I know I will have to purchase the software from a Dacta supplier (who would you recomend in the UK) but could anyone guide me to any useful sites with hints and tips on operation and programming? Many thanks in advance for your help. Gaz.

The ROBOLAB software wasn't included, however, so I imagine that I'll need a driver of some kind to use it. Does anyone have a driver? (This (...)
