Back to filing and drilling.
Are people really having such a difficult time finding the proper
cables? They do show up from time to time. I've never had much trouble
getting them when needed. It sure beats all this hacking about.
I know that I haven't seen them around for a good long time. OTOH I have a big box of the more standard ones around here, including a few variations in color, some right angle, etc. I *may* have one of those older style ones somewhere, I'm not sure. I am sure that I don't have anything here that uses them. Some time back I had a guy who was looking for one, offered me $40 for one that I had, and I sent it off to him. That one might have been for a music synthesizer, I'm not sure any more.
The two configurations of those is bothersome as well.
