I just acquired dsmlink v2 and noticed the cable isn't compatible with my laptop...

They both have "male" ends to them..
I was wondering if there is a converter piece that has two "female ends" to it that would be able to be put in between laptop and cable??

thanks!

That other plug is a VGA plug for a monitor not a serial port.

You need to buy this connector StarTech.com USB to RS232 Serial DB9 Adapter Cable Serial adapter - USB

You could also buy a really old laptop for 10 times the cost!
 
I would suggest hitting up your local Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc.
You could probably find one that will work at TigerDirect.com or NewEgg.com too, if you're willing to wait for shipping.
