Nice!

Certainly a lot more work than a double-headed male header but it does give you 
a keyed connector at the computer end.

  Subject: [M100] DVI cable for 200


  I just made a working cable for DVI for Model 200 that doesn't need any 
twists in the cable and is polarity keyed and shrouded.


  It's annoying that you have to solder two parts together, but the end result 
is a cable that is keyed and shrouded, AND fits in a 200 (also 102 but 200 is 
the difficult one)


  On the 200 end of the cable you just solder together a through-hole pcb 
solder type shrouded male pin header and a "wire to board" 40 pin idc 
connector. It's a bit fiddly manually holding the two connectors just right 
until you get one pin soldered. Then still have to be careful not to melt the 
pins out of the connector. But in the end it's probably actually easier or more 
reproduceable than splitting and twisting all those pairs of wires and then 
trying to crimp them all at once. And a better/safer cable than using a 
double-ended male-male 40p header on an ide cable, because the male pins are 
shrouded, and both connectors are polarity keyed.
