    Hey, Dan, it wasn't your imagination. I just deleted the cable reader thread I started. I just read about the item at cpaptalk, got excited and went off half-cocked and posted at sleepguide. Thank God, it caught Mike's attention right away. I checked it out. That cable reader CAN be made to work for the RESMED data card. You have to take an old credit card and cut it to use as a guide for the Resmed data card. Directions, dimensions, etc. have been posted at cpaptalk several times.

    Anyway, other than you, Mike saved my bacon and caught it soon enough I was able to delete the entire thread. $24.50 is NOT a good buy. I can buy that cable reader for $27 when NOT on sale locally. I should have known too - when is a Buy Now price ever a really great buy at eBay??? Duh.

    Are you hoping to buy the cable reader and ResScan 3.7 software? I got mine as a BUNDLE (both items) for under $100. If you are looking to buy and I'll tell you where I got mine.

    Dan, having worked in the mental health/healthcare system for many years, I'm sorry to say that, for the most part, I agree with you. It's a sad commentary of this wonderful country of ours.

    Glad to have your input--I hadn't remade this connection re: DME till I got your message. Forgot they work for ME, not the other way around.

    Now, now, Dan! You and I know that. BUT the post "was" aimed at sleep professionals. *wicked grin*

    Really kind of unfair of me to put "our" GOOD sleep pros on the spot but like I said, I'm feeling crochety this morning.
