[Dtb-talk] cable for use with NLS player & cartridge

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     One thing to check with USB cables is that they actually fit the 
cartridge. I have seen USB cables with a female end encased in a large shell 
that would not fit. I suggest that when buying a cable that you actually try 
it.

Regards,

Robert
