Hosa DBK110 DB9 to 8 Pin Mini DIN Cable (10 Feet)
Use to connect music keyboard synthesizers to a PC computer via the music keyboard's "Host" output. It's a mini-DIN 8-pin jack on the back of the music keyboard. The cable goes from there to the PC's 9-pin DSub Serial communications port.
Yamaha chose to wire the "Host" output slightly differently on their keyboards. Specifically, the keyboard's 8-pin "Host" output requires a cable that has Pins 4 and 8 shorted in the 8-pin mini-DIN plug. Other manufacturers' keyboards (Alesis, Korg, Roland, etc.) do not require this jumper. This cable does not work for Yamaha at this point in time!
