Just an FYI - I've found several people selling MMJ plugs on eBay buy the
100. At least over here, they aren't hard to get hold of or expensive.
I've got a bag of them in myt desk drawer and a 100m reelf of white flat
6-core cable. No one of those cost me over 20 GBP, I think the MMJ plugs
were about 4-5 GBP for a bag of 100.
I'm kind of amazed there is still so much gear about to do these, but I
guess the standard was at one time somewhat ubiquitous :)
Could you make me up a lead for my VaxStation 3100?
If you let me know
what you need on each end and how long, sure.
Well I guess a couple of meters should be enough. A 9-pin female wired
to fit a PC port would be nice on the other end the so I can use PUTTY
et al as a terminal to get the thing running as I don't have a keyboard,
mouse or display. How much would you want for this? Do you take Pay Pal?
For a normal MMJ to MMJ cable, I'd suggest starting with a 10ft cable.
That seemed to be the most versatile length and was the most popular
length that I used to sell in my eBay store. The DE9 to MMJ cables I sold
were slightly longer at 14ft, which people really seemed to like (I sold
100s of them).
If there is ever much demand I could always go back into low-volume
production on some of those cables and adapters.
