OK, they had this kind at the store. I'll get one. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I could turn the box around (I did). It does have a 25 pin port, but
there are others, too. I didn't know which one to use. Sorry for the
silliness, but I never did this before, and I didn't want to waste money
on something I didn't need.

I think that the hardware is a spacstation 4, but I'm not sure. I'm not in
front of it now.

Thanks for the help.
