You can't use 3-1/2" drives on either of those cards, period.

I knew that.

You only need a straight through if you have a SSC, since it can play both DTE and DCE roles. Even with a USB cable in the middle.

I don't really know what any of that means*... I just went with Null b/c:

USB to RS-232 Adapter - Macintosh or Windows
Converts a Macintosh or PC USB port to a male DE-9, RS-232 connector. This, coupled with one of the null modems above, will complete the circuit from a modern Mac or PC that only has USB ports to an Apple II.

*except that SSC = SuperSerialCard
