finding a cable to link stylewriter 1200 to mac mini

i'm trying to find a way of linking a stylewriter 1200 to my mac mini; the serial port on the stylewriter is a round one, similar to the port on an old pre-usb mac, rather than the standard squarish connections that I've seen on typical usb to serial cables.Any ideas/help please?

macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.4), macmini (10.6.4)

yes...i've seen that very helpful topic - but it seems to deal with the drivers necessary to use the Stylewriter with snow leopard, and not the cable needed to connect the stylewriter to the usb computer

Read the thread again, particularly the first posts. They also discuss how to get the Stylewriter connected to a Mac, which will take more than just a simple cable.
