Hi all
I need one of these, they're too expensive for my tastes (30€+ shipped..) and it appears there are enough DIY projects out there to attempt to make one myself.
Specs, schematics:
Connector:
In my scrap parts box, I found a 9 core cable. My question is: which of the SIO lines aren't really needed in the commonly available Atari 400/800 hardware? In the specs sheet, according to note one quite a few but I wanted to have a quick sanity check if that holds true:
If I leave out any "not required or "not implemented" and tie the grounds together, I end up with 9 wires for the rest. I would like the cable to be compatible with at least a floppy drive and cassette player.
Thanks for your help
