IEEE 1284 DB25 Wiring
cholin:
Im not sure about the last part, but why dont you make it easier and neater for yourself and use a standard ribbon cable (40 pin).
coasternuts:
Just so I don't freak newbies away from DB25, I bought some more of the same brand DB25 in different packaging, and to my surprise :o there is 1 wire for every pin. Also the gauge is slightly thicker. Bonus!! I am not regretting going DB25 now as I was before.
ShinAce:
I bought a db15 monitor extension from the pace I work, and without even cutting it open, found it had 14 pins connected, individually.
But curiosity got the best of me, I just had to see the shielding.
It turns out the cable only has 1 shield covering all wires, which is perfect for me. And there are exactly 14 conductors. I'm using 13.

Weird.
My DB25 had 25 wires, all going to individual pins.
Go figure?
