My quibble with both Tony's (and your) suggestion is that the
responders with the pin 34 suggestion (Fred and me, for two) weren't
*sure* about the fix--we just had a suspicion--as in "try this".
Building a cable that's potentially a throwaway might be more cost
than the OP wanted to bear. Yes, in theory, you could pry the
connectors off and reuse them, but I think that's not a very reliable
practice.
OTOH, using a 3.5-5.25 adapter and simply maskng the contact with a
bit of tape is completely reversible.
