This is the second time I've made one, and it STILL doesn't work.
Neither do I want to buy one. Hints? I am using StarCommander and
it doesn't detect the drive at all.

Sounds like you might have the problem I had when I made mine. Try to
ensure you aren't looking at the instructions on how to make it backwards,
which results in the wires being wrong. IIRC one of the plugs is shown the
opposite of what you would expect. Once I fixed that I was able to see it
with SC.

Guys:
You know, I tried to make one of these beasties wired both frontward
*and* backward, and neither configuration (on either machine) worked.
Judging by the decidedly iffy nature of the Commodore serial port, I
have come to the conclusion that on certain machines it is not
possible to make this work!
Does anyone agree with this, or am I just a blithering idiot?
