Does anyone know if the 5161 uses a special pinout or if it's simply a
straight-through cable (i.e. pin 1 to pin 1)? I've been searching but
haven't found any answers.

Does anyone know if the 5161 uses a special pinout or if it's simply a
straight-through cable (i.e. pin 1 to pin 1)? I've been searching but
haven't found any answers.
Accordign to the O&A TechRef 'The extender card and receiver card
rear-panel connectors are the same. Pin and signal seeignements for the
extender and receiver cards are shown below"
The 'externder card' is the oen that goes i nthe 5150 or 5160. The
'receiver card' is the one that goes in the 5161. I read that as saying
that the cable is straight-trhough. BUT, it would not suprise me if some
signals weere wired as twisted paris with ground. Unfortunately i don;'t
have the cable to hand so I can't take the hoods off and look at the wires.
Anyway, here is the pinous of the DC62 connector :
1 : EIRQ6

Yes it sure SEEMS like it's a straight through. I went ahead and ordered
one so I'll cross my fingers.
Thanks

I am certain it's wired straight-through. The TechRef contains scehtmics
of the extender and receiver cards and the pinouts of the DC62 conenctors
match. My worry is that some signals have ot be twisted with ground
wires. This is not specified in the docs I have.
Where on earth can you order DC62 cables from?

Yeah I can see what you're saying about IBM possibly have some twisted pair
wires in it like a cat 5 cable has. If the cable works I'll be sharing the
sources I've found including the specific one I ordered.

The cable worked! Right now it's just a basic setup of a video card,
floppy card, and extender card in the 5150 and the receiver card and hdd
controller card in the 5161 but it worked.

Make sure you get the MALE/MALE cable on the bottom. The top one is
MALE/FEMALE.
I picked the shortest one out of caustion. 2.5'. It's still long enough to
sit the units side by side.

Congrats! I dug through my basement trying to find mine to probe out the
pinout but failed. Glad the normal connections were right.

If you put them on top of each other, it's easier to coordinate the on/off
switches with one hand. But only if you're pretty sure you're done pulling
the skin off the lower one!
