It cannot be any ordinary serial cable.

As for finding one, don't give up. Just because something isn't on eBay today doesn't mean another won't pop up soon. Usually a lot sooner than you think, so keep checking. I did find a CDX-838 doing a quick search on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=85808&item=5771852303&rd=1 The 838 is identical to the 828 with the exception of the colour (red instead of silver/champagne). One thing I would recommend if you do end up buying one online from someone on eBay is to ensure that that shipment is insured. Back when I got my 828 it was used from someone on eBay as well. I assumed the seller would insure it and he didn't. Apparently the changers aren't hard to damage in shipping... It was shipped in its original box but the changer jammed and the pickup would not read discs properly when I got it. Seller denied responsibility but luckily the unit was still under warranty and the seller had the receipt. So he sent the receipt and I sent it in to Sony and it was fixed and has worked perfectly since, but if it wasn't under warranty and/or if the guy didn't have the receipt I'd have been screwed... So just a tip regarding shipping.
