I found one here in my shack from another life time, cut off one end and found that it has all 8 of the conductors in the cable. I pinned-out the wires, made up my circuit ... and it works GREAT! It looks like the PS2 Keyboards and mouse cables may work for the 6 pin mini din.SO if your throwing out key board or mouse or old apple gear during spring cleaning, take a moment to cut off the cords they may makegreat interconnect cables.73Brian KKB3WFV ______________________________________________________________K3CAL mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/k3calHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:K3CAL at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
