20D laptop connection......Help

Hi all,
Please don't be offended by this possibly off topic question BUT..........

I've been the proud owner of a new 20D for a few weeks now . Having owned a 300D I have been using a cable purchased from Hap for focusing via serial port and the cameras USB cable. You know the routine.......DSLR Focus yada..yada..yada.

Well...now what . I purchased a (cheapa) China remote (ADIDT M1) off __bay for the plug and will now attempt to splice in a three conductor 3.5mm M/F jack in line. Question is......is this all I need beside upgrading DSLR ???

What are you using???

Thanks for the help,

Tom,

DSLR Focus beta version for 20D does not yet work with Service Pack 2. SO, don't be in a hurry to upgrade if you have SP2. (You get many of the functions in the software, but you cannot focus becuase the image screen is blank. And if you can't focus with DSLR Focus, well......)

As for upgrading the cable, I'll leave that to others, since I have no cable myself and use my remote timer to take pictures longer than 30 seconds.

Just looking at the picture on the ADIDT cable, Tom, it does not look like it has pins that fit the 20D, even though the advert says it does. (Admittedly, the picture is not big enough to be conclusive.)

Have you tried it with the camera, and found it works as it should?

That would be good news.
