md3800i - serial connection

Hello,

Can anyone inform me as to what type of interface the md3800i uses for the serial connection? i mean, it uses mini-USB instead of the special pined wiring of the older models.

Ie: Would an FTDI Virtual USB serial connection work, or is it another proprietary type of cable?

I (as mentioned in a previous post) acquired a second hand md3800i, that hadn't been used in 2 years, and no-one knows the management information.

Thanks.
