Hi Mike, Brian has already responded, but here is the link to what I bought:
https://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/store/#!/Disk-Video-Interface-cable-kit-for-Models-100-102-200/p/141211030/category=140828026 That's the three part cable that Brian designed. However the version I received is quite a bit different than the pictures, and probably has issues based on the other thread and the responses here. I figured that out, but hopefully without damaging my 102s first. Regardless of that cable and the problems it has caused, this has been an interesting project so far. I'm still enjoying the 100/102 and learning about it, and the idea that the docking station for my computer is an entire second computer is pretty hilarious too. :) Mike On Sun, Nov 24, 2024 at 9:24 AM Mike Stein <[email protected]> wrote: > I must have missed something; what are these 'pins' whereof you speak? > > I take it you're not talking about this cable? > > > https://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/store/#!/Disk-Video-Interface-cable-for-Model-100/p/143281628/category=140828026 > > On Sat, Nov 23, 2024 at 8:23 PM Michael Brutman <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Just a quick update ...
