Opinion Gerber Sabre retro-fit serial cable

[chadorama]

Did a little "retro-fit" to an old Sabre 408. Now I don't have to keep track of a serial - USB adapter, mess with drivers and can plug in with a usb cable. Keeping the old beast alive! Now I just need to figure out the weirdness of Gerbers G-code...

What part did you use for this?
Thank you.

I like the old beast. this is great. any chance you could do a write up on parts and a quick how-to?
