Has anyone found a source that sells the subminiature din-8 female connectors found on the newer Macintosh Serial ports?? I would like to build a switch box, but I haven't been able to locate the connectors. The male subminiature connecters are sold by MCM electronics in Dayton, Ohio. Thank you for any help you may offer, John Hovan Computer Doctor Bowling Green State University Hardware Support hovan@andy.bgsu.edu N8JAA Long live the Macintosh!!

They have a most interesting catalog with lots of Computer stuff, audio/video/telephone stuff, etc. I might also add that they have a four-way switch box specifically for Mac DIN-8 stuff that sells for $30. Note that they are a wholesale distributor, and I'm not sure what their policy is concerning individuals or schools. However, I'm sure you can call and find out. I've been dealing with them (through my consulting business) for almost five years now, and have been very happy. Any orders in before 3pm ship out the same day, and you know on the phone what is in stock and what is not (usually everything is in stock). ----- Steve Lemke ------------------- "MS-DOS (OS/2, etc.) - just say no!" ----- Internet: steve@ivucsb.UUCP; lemke@apple.COM AppleLink: LEMKE ----- uucp: pyramid!comdesign!ivucsb!steve CompuServe: 73627,570 ----- alt.uucp: {decwrl!}sun!apple!lemke GEnie: S.Lemke ----- Quote: "What'd I go to college for?"

Try contacting a video parts dealer who deals in Hitachi parts. There is a miniature 8 pin connector on a Hitachi camcorder that may be what you are looking for. The part is a Hitachi 5883581, is a female 8 contact bulkhead connector already wired up to some kind of single-in-line connector like plugs into a circuit board.
