Several days ago I posted a plea for guidance in locating 23-pin D- subminiature connectors, one of which I desperately need to make a cable for my new monitor. Our IMP has been a bit flaky lately, so maybe my article got et. Anyway, PLEASE send me mail if you know where I can get these connectors! ______________________________________________________________________________ /_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| _No dark sarcasm in the classroom|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|___ |____Teachers leave the kids alone__|_____|_____|bryan@mothra.cs.utexas.edu___| ___|_____|_____|_____|___{ihnp4,seismo,...}!ut-sally!mothra.cs.utexas.edu!bryan |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|

Some time ago, I tried interfacing a CONRAC monitor to my Amiga and found a need for these beasties. I got them from an outfit (Ma/Pa operation, I think) named "Jim Black <SomethingOrOther>". I believe he orders in AmigaWorld, possibly in Amazing Computing (how's that for specific?). As I remember it, the price for the bare connector was $3.00 and backshells were $1.50 (a bit pricy, if you ask me). Apparently, he is or was making add-on floppy drives for the Amiga and bought a big batch of these. If I ever find myself in reach of a keyboard and the right magazine at the same time, I'll try to post more complete info. Mark -- < Mark R.

I never read your original posting - but I do know that if you look in back issues of Amazing Computing I have seen adds for DB-23 connectors. >|____Teachers leave the kids alone__|_____|_____|bryan@mothra.cs.utexas.edu___| -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA ARPANET: cbmvax!schein@uunet.uu.net 1200 Wilson Drive Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS West Chester PA 19380 phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.

23 pin is not a standard size in D-subminature connectors (the standard sizes are 9, 15, 25, and 37 pins). But try 3M Technical Product Information at 800-792-0137; they may have it as a special order item, even though it isn't in their catalog. Ask about 8200 series connectors. John Nagle

Our IMP has been a bit flaky... They're hard to find. It's a completely non-standard part. I've been looking for a pair to make an extender for my RGB port. Been to a good half dozen places and looked in a few parts catalogs. I hear that a local amiga dealer here in Oregon will sell them for $8-$10 per connector, but I haven't bothered to check on it. (At least not til payday at that price!) I here that you might also be able to buy them at a Sony repair center, as they also use them in monitors. I've heard rumors of places that will sell them in lots of 50 or 100, but not single units. Try your amiga local amiga repair center. Bill Hansen billh@teklim.LIM.TEK.COM

When I was fixin stuff at the local Computer store here, I noticed that some 'manufacturers' of DB-23's were just mucking over the insides of a DB-25!! They hollowed out the side, and reformed the mating surfaces. Worked, though. -- Kenny "_R_o_b_o_B_r_o_t_h_e_r" Crudup krc@arthur.cs.purdue.edu Purdue University CS Dept. W.

Everyone I know just takes a hacksaw to a DB25. Try Radio Shack and your hardware store and you'll have one ten minutes after you get home :-). -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Ed Taychert Phone: USA (716) 381-7870 Entire Inc.
