No cable for the DSD setup eh? Hmmm, must still be in
the garage....
It is a normal ribbon cable just as you suspect.
I bought a 26 conductor 10 foot rainbow ribbon cable yesterday, along with a
few 2x13 IDC connectors. So, I'll just make my own connector. As I recall,
rainbow ribbon cables normally use brown for pin 1. I also bit the bullet
Yes. Just follow the normal colour code. You know :
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Better Buy Resistor Or Your Grid Bias May Go West

IDC crimp tool, I've used a bench vise in the past and it just
doesn't work well - too many broken connectors ;)
Odd... I've crimped dozens of connectors in the vice and had no problems.
If it's a connector with exposed pins, like those DIL transition headers,
I put the pins into a pluigblock type of 'breadboard' first. It's about
all seid breadboards are useful for...
As for
mounting the RL01, there is still an H-960 sitting here!
I think I also have a box of floppy disks for the DSD setup.
I have an H-960 spare. I was REALLY hoping to make the 11/45 a single bay
setup, but it doesn't seem that is really possible. I'll have to hunt up a
Why not? In one of my H960s, I have the 11/45 CPU with it's PSUs (bottom
3 bays). Then an RX02 -- that doesn't obstruct the cooling to the CPU
from what I've found. Then an RK05, but you could put an RL there. On top
is the RK11-C controller at the front and its H720 PSU at the back.
