A bit? What is your definition of a lot? ;-) > I am not sure that those URLs will work outside my session, but you > can find them by part number, the M20-...... part of the URL. Works fine here. That would nicely handle the 26 pin header on p2, but what about the BBLB amp blue molded db25 on the other end? I'll pull this one off and run both ends back thru my vice, its probably 3 years since that one last felt the squeeze. I'll put an extra shim in the center for extra pressure in the center of the connectors. If that doesn't fix it, I've probably got enough cable to make 10 more of them. Connectors are in short stock though. That particular SainSmart bob has a good reputation in these here parts. I must have a 6 pack of them in service. Many others have been removed for various reasons. Often for slow opto's, screwing up a pwm, so I now have a house rule, don't use anything with opto's in the outputs anymore.
