Error 1001 and 1004 while connecting

Hi,

I was just trying to connect PC Lap Counter to my ninco powerbase. The powerbase should be version 1.08. I bought the following cable to connect --> http://dx.com/p/jy-mcu-usb-serial-port-adapter-download-line-arduino-104322
I took a ps2 cable from an old mouse and connected pin 1 to the rxd and pin 5 to the ground of the usb adapter.

When I try to connect I got several 1004 and 1001 errors. In debug I see the following information (2 crossings of the same car):
67 7A 7A 6A 3A 75 7A 7A 0A 3A 35 5A 2A 7A 3A 3A 3A 7A

65 4E 7D 65 4E 1F 79 4E 1F 79 4E 1F 79 64 7F 00

If I read correctly I should not have to change any port settings because the software creates the COM connection himself. Is the adapter I use to connect wrong or is my powerbase not a 1.08? (it was sold to me as 1.08) Any help is appreciated.

For sure your cable is not working , the only cable which is working 100% is the cable from Rich.G ( more information here: http://www.pclapcounter.be/ninco_digital_1_08.html )
