D'oh, I didn't even think about that!  I've got several of those
cables already on hand.

Looks like I ought to be able to use this box with Myth afterall, I'll
just have to deploy an IR blaster.  I think I'll make one more attempt
at getting a Mortorola from Comast, and if that fails, go with the IR
blaster.

Now that I understand what's going on, the only real advantage of the
Motorola is that I can use firewire for *both* signal AND channel
changing, right?  In other words, the Motorola greatly simplifies the
configuration.

Thank you, everyone, for all your help!

p.s. I just bought the Antec NSK2400 case for my Myth box---man this
thing is soooo nice!
