- Instructions for making the cable. You will need 1 male,25
- pin connector (Printer connector),2- 14 pin DIN Plugs, and approx
- 6 feet of 14 conductor shielded cable. If you can find a place
- which sells the 6 ft floppy drive cables, you may use one of these
- and cut it in half. Read all instructions before starting!
- 1.) If you are using a premade molded cable, you will have to
- use an OHM meter to find out which wires are for which pins. Clip
- one of the leads of the ohm meter to one of the 14 wires. Then
- touch each pin on the connector until you find which pin the wire
- belongs to. Do this for each wire until, you have them all
- labeled. (both connectors will be the same, so you only need do
- this for one connector.)
- 1a.) if you are making the cable from scratch, solder one
- wire to each of the 14 pins on the connector. Do this for each
- cable.
- 1c.) if you are lucky enough to have a connector which comes
- apart on your premade cable, take apart connector and write down
- which color wire goes to which pin.
-
- 2) Now that you have the wires all labeled, label one
- connector drive A and one connector Drive B.
-
- 3) You will now solder the wires from the cable labeled Drive
- B to the 25 pin plug.

- Now connect the following wires together, Cable A pin 1 to
- Cable B pin 10 and Cable A pin 2 to cable B pin 2.
- Wrap these wires with electrical tape.
- Now you can put the connectors together, there should be 2
- cables extending from out of the case for the 25 pin connectors.
- Make sure that there are no shorted wires. You can check them with
- an OHM meter before using.
- Below is a diagram which was used to determine pin numbers for
- the DIN Plug.
