[Coco] Extension cable

[Kip Koon]

Hi Stan,
Wouldn't that be 10 pins, not 8?

Yeah, I did that many moons ago.
Just used a couple of 8 pin IDC sockets, some ribbon cable & stuck a set of pins in one of the sockets to make it into a plug.

PS, in case you don't know, IDC stands for 'insulation displacement connector'.... put the ribbon cable in, squeeze the plug with pliers or vice & you're done.
