The hacking of a 49 way.... the cable
Lilwolf:
I FINALLY found a good cable to work with a sinister 49 way controller!
I got Daves 49way controller (works GREAT!) but I couldn't find any way to neatly hack it. I couldn't find any cable ends that fit.
Well.. I finally took it in the basement and started looking at all the outdated crap... and I found it!
Find an old pre-atx power supply and cut off the power -> the motherboard. Both sides (there where two) fit PERFECT!
Right number of pins!
Perfect size!
and the wire works great with Daves board.
Anyway, I now have a VERY nice and clean looking cable job... without crimping a thing!
SirPoonga:
Any pics? Or are you just teasing us...
G@M3FR3@K:
Those are called an "AT" Power-Supply. They have a pair of 6-pin conectors.
Lilwolf:
Sorry, I don't think I can take pictures.
It was BEAUTIFUL hack..
but I ended up using electrical tape and screwing it down on the underside of the control panel... because I just wanted to mount it quick... And I didn't have any optioins at the time :)

Thanks for the heads up! :) I keep seeing my two 49-way (one sinistar, one happs) sitting on the work table just begging to be used. :'( I know I have an old AT power box somewhere around here...
