This looks great. What we've needed for a long time. I had put together a pre-loaded digikey cart to build a marty goodman cable, but this will be better.
I found "dupont" style connectors with crimp on pins, and a polarity key that fits in the drive. I never found the metal encased plug like the original, but that one isn't keyed anyway, the key is formed in the outer vinyl molding. http://tandy.wiki/TPDD#Parts On Sat, Sep 8, 2018, 6:56 PM CHARLES SHEAR <rdsh...@comcast.net> wrote: > Whoops, LOL. https://rsmicro.wordpress.com/ > > On September 8, 2018 at 5:06 PM Brian White <bw.al...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm definitely interested. > > On Sat, Sep 8, 2018 at 3:27 PM CHARLES SHEAR < rdsh...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > Based on the information I read in Marty Goodman's write up on his cable > disassembly and reverse engineering, I have come up with a variation of his > design that definitely is working with my 100, 102, and TPDD.
