I think you missed the part where if I ordered one, it might show up
by 1 November.
I have to use what I have on hand.

P.S. - Tony, thanks for the info on port loading, etc. I'm trying to
avoid a multi-cable setup so that when I turn things over to the next
guy, it's as uncomplicated to attach as possible. Also, while I've
used PS/2 ports, etc., in the past, I'm not sure how much longer
they'll be standard equipment. We already have servers here with no
parallel ports. I've rigged up a USB-to-banana-jack cable for +5V for
my breadboard (that's where my simple "DAC" is at the moment), but the
only free USB ports are on the front, leaving me the only option of
parallel cable in the back for data, and a long cable all the way
around the machine to the front for power. Not a robust end-user
situation, I'd say, but OK for puttering around.
