I thought that the RK8E needed the IC and the original cable I am using with
my RK8E does have it installed. I have a schematic in the RK8E printset
but it doesn't show the IC. I have a cable around without the IC but have
not tried using it. If find you need the parts on the board I can pull
the cable and find out what they are.
The RK8E (with M993C) and RK05 schematics are on my web site
