all the boxes have that RS232 male connector. What you need to ensure is that you have a female ( blue ) RS232 connection on the motherboard of your PC ( will be at the back of the case along side or above/below your USB and serial ports.
Most laptops do not have this connection so instead of a male to female RS232 null modem cable you need a USB2 to RS232 female lead. The latter are troublesome because windows ( xp and Vista ) can be temperamental and not pick up the box at all when using these leads to flash.
I suggest always using the male to female lead and borrowing a friends PC for 5 minutes whilst you install the update software. Of course this will not matter until you have working firmware to flash with.
