It's
probably taken you longer to send these messages than it would have
taken to crimp an IDC DA15 onto each end of a bit of cable.... And I
suspect the delivery time for such connectors from a reputable supplier
(Farnell, Digikey, etc) would be no longer than having a cable sent to you.
Sure, but those connectors aren't cheap, and people are throwing AUI
cables in the trash left and right.
The DA15 is not that expensive... Wait until you want a DD50 IDC plug or
sorcket (e.g. for Sun or PERQ 3 SCSI). Now that's a seriously expensive part.
I guess you could buy the solder type and strip, tin and solcer all 15
pires of the ribbon cble to them.But I think I'd avoid that...
