Sigh. After over a year now, people are still talking about how they're going to save money over the "outrageously priced" HP cable, and they STILL can't find the right connectors. One person had some custom-made then did extensive rework by hand. Others have been looking through catalog after catalog. With one or two exceptions, the cables that have been successfully hand-made sound very fragile. Is this one of those "why did you climb Mt. Everest" things? At some point, doesn't it become obvious that $50 for a well-made cable is not a bad deal after all? -- >>>==>PStJTT Patrick St. Joseph Teahan Taber, KC1TD If I was authorized to speak for my employer, I'd be too important to waste my time on this crap....
