[net.micro.pc] Big Blue Strikes Again

milos@inmet.UUCP (12/31/85)

I have a PCjr to which I'd like to be able to attach an external
modem. This should be pretty easy to do, as the system unit
contains a built-in serial port.

Unfortunately, the serial port requires a non-standard (surprise!),
16-pin connector. IBM will cheerfully sell you an "Adapter Cable
for Serial Devices" for $25. I'd rather make the damn thing myself
(a fellow netter was kind enough to send me the configuration specs).

Does anybody out there know where I might be able to get my hands
on one of these 16-pin connectors? So far, I haven't been able
to track one down, either locally or mail-order.
