I'm looking for an inexpensive cable to download pics from an old Epson Photo PC
the Mini Cable is S-pin DIN (camera side) & RS-232C (computer side). Anyone know where one may be online or elsewhere?
My Epson is so old that it is only named "Photo PC" there are no numbers behind the name.

I just bought an Epson 650 digital camera. I know, it's not new and fancy, but it's all I could afford right now. I bought this one (from ebay) mainly because my daughter has the same one- she bought several years ago, for around$350. I've noticed what big, clear, detailed pictures it takes (she sends to me).
She resizes the pictures smaller, but the resolution on hers is 144. she uses one of the "better" settings, not the standard and not the BEST.
What I've noticed with mine is, the resolution is 75 and the pictures don' tseem as clear and detailed. This might be partially because the scenery ones I've taken are of SNOW. I've tried using all the settings, even the very best, which only takes 3 pictures. The resolution is still 75.
The picture size is big, 15"X 11". They are JPEG.
I tried using he HotShots software that came with it, and now use Paint Shop Pro 7, with AQUIRE (Twain).
I tried using the memory card in the USB cable that came with it, but it seemed to be clashing with my CD burner, which is in the other USB port. It's just as easy to use the camera and serial port and PSP.
My daughter doesn't know much about it, she just takes the pictures and then takes them off. Hers have always been 144 resolution.
I'm not saying the pictures on mine aren't good, and they're better than the Kodak DC 3200 I've had for over a year. Just that they don't seem as good as my daughter's, and it's the exact same camera.
Could it be the memory (flashcard) that sets the resolution of the pictures? I have the original 8 MB one that came with the camera and my daughter once bought a bigger one.
I know I can change the resolution in PSP to something higher if I want.
I've been trying to find out what decides what the resolution of the pictures (when taken off the camera) might be? I can't find anything in the directions book about the settings for this. Just the "standard, better, best and extra fine". But, they all take pictures with 75 resolution.
