Bloody hell! - Here we go eh? ( Joke )
If you check the docs, the instructions are in there ( Unless its in PARALINK? )
Its definitely in one, but I am not too sure of the other!?
The cable is really easy to do ( Hint Hint back ) and anyone ( Are you reading this? ) can do it!
Failing that though... I have had to do a few, so I could put you one together if you really needed me to!
BUT - AND I DO STRESS THIS:-
WRONGLY WIRING UP THE PARALLEL PORT, WILL VERY LIKELY FRY THE BOTH COMPUTERS!
IF I DO IT FOR YOU - I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT IS 100% CORRECT.
HOWEVER, IF I DO MAKE A MISTAKE, AND ANYTHING GOES WRONG...
...ITS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!
I would honestly say do it yourself though, because it is easy to do!
I cannot say exactly which wires go where, but I know the following are probably correct.
Pins 1 and 11 cross over, so pin 1 goes to pin 11, and 11 to 1
Pins 2 to 9 go through to pins 2 to 9 as normal, and pins 18 to 25 are all connected as normal, and I dont think the rest need to be connected.
I will get back, and update this in a short while though... I will strip down a working cable that I already have ( HAHA! ) and see how I have connected it.
We will them know how to do it yeah?
See you in a minute...
Damion.
