- My brother brought home an HP48SX for the weekend, about the same time as I
- got an inexplicable urge to play Tetris. What I did was slice off 3 pins of
- a regular .1" DIP socket and solder them to a pigtail with a DB25 on the other
- end (4 pins are just too wide to fit and you only need 3). After a bit of
- filing, I had a connector that lasted long enough to download the game and
- was only set back $1.26.
