I just finished a homemade cable for my PZ-1p and it only cost me about $1.50 thanks to Bill Peifer's link from the PDML archives. I needed one 10 feet long so I salvaged a cord from an old computer mouse I had laying around and rumaged through my box of computer connectors and found a cdrom connector with three pins that fit the camera. A $1.50 for a couple of momentary switches and a small project box from Radio Shack and it was done. It works great. Thanks, Bill, for the link.
