    Default Seeking DB25 adaptor thingy....

    I hope someone can help me.....

    I remember a thread from a while back where someone linked a clever little DB25 adaptor which you could take the top off and link whichever pins on the 'in' to whichever pins on the 'out' side. I think it was done by small press in pieces of bendy wire but can't be certain.

    I thought it was in response to one of my previous posts about X,Y reversal but it appears to not be the case....

    I desperetely try to find a METAL shielded db25 jumper box for hours, but can't find ANY seller which would sell to Switzerland...

    On eBay there's this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/RadioShack-276-1...item2eb2181151, but can't even contact seller to ask him if he sells to my country

    Does anybody know where I can find a great seller, or ultimately order it for me and then resend it to my home?? I'll pay a comission for that

    Thanks
    Sebastien

    No the websites or eBay seller I found just don't sell out of USA/Canada...

    Thanks for the link but this won't work, the intented use of this jumper box is to inject an interlock signal into the ILDA cable right at the output of the pangolin interface, instead of going to the projector with a separate cable

    Take a spur out of a 1m cable and enclose the splice with something like:

    Yeah Doc that would be a solution, but that would cost me an extra cable + the box, that's more work (I hate welding on a DSUB connector ) and that's breaking the shielding...
