Brilliant! Is it easy to pick up one of these adaptors nowadays on their own? Are they common? I want one of these.

I have a USB-gameport adaptor that I got with a gamepad, I use that with my laptop and X1531 cable without any problems, as the gameport connector is only used to supply power to the datasette

No chance, most laptops I know do not have the analogue joystick adapter input anymore. Well it's actually better to convert tapes to WAV first anyway

I of course meant to call it the X1531 cable.

| X1538 cable question
This was a great buy, and I love using it to make my own turboloads. But... how could I use this with a laptop? If you've used one of these, you will know that it has a 25 pin parallel port connector as well as a 15 pin connector. My standard desktop PC has both these sockets at the back, but my laptop only has the 25-pin socket. The 15 pin one isn't there. Does that mean that the cable can't be used with my laptop, or is there some way round this?
