- I don't have a Radio Shack catalog handy to confirm this, but I know
- in the past I've bought ready-made DIN-5 cables from RS. They don't
- have any clue that they sell MIDI cables, and I don't remember what
- they think those cables are made to do, but they work perfectly well
- for MIDI for me -- and they're a lot less work than soldering them up
- yourself. (I think 6' was the only length they had.)
