I have just updated some of the information for the documentation of my K3-to-Quadra Inter-wiring which is on my web site.
Mainly, the updates were to WARN potential users of the info about the 'GOTCHA' with regard to using the appropriate 8-pin DIN plug required by the Quadra's BAND DATA 1 connector. The Quadra REQUIRES that you use a 262-degree pin pattern 8-pin DIN plug at this location, rather than the more commonly available 270-degree pin pattern plug. The 262-degree DIN plug is commonly referred to as a 'horseshoe pattern' plug, but it is NOT always stocked by many electronics houses. If you attempt to use a 270-degree pattern plug in the 262-degree pattern socket, you will likely break the socket!!! Anyone who has downloaded previous versions of these docs, might want to update to the latest version. And, as available, I will try to (eventually) provide a source listing for the connectors required for this interface cable. At present, I can find all of the connectors BUT the 262-degree plug, and I'm still looking for a source for that connector. Once I find a source, I will add that info to the docs. IF YOU KNOW OF A RELIABLE SOURCE FOR THE 2620-DEGREE 8-PIN DIN PLUG, PLEASE DROP ME A NOTE WITH THE INFO.
