Re: Carte Blanche to XILINX Platform Cable USB

[Lukazi <lukazi@hotmail.com>]

I am still waiting on the quote. I don't know if a custom cable is
going to be particularly cheap but I want to go this way because it's
the shipping cost that puts me off.

For everyone's info I specified the following :-
140mm long seven 22AWG (depending on plug may need 24AWG or thinner)
coloured and labelled wires. Female 14way 2mm pitch keyed connector to
individual single female 2.54mm pitch connectors.

This was based on the cable (HW-USB-FLYLEADS-G,
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=122-1530-ND)
from DigiKey. I wanted a cable that was going to be able to do high
speed communication if needed. Since Carte Blanche is not going need
the high speeds I intend on making an extension ribbon cable so that I
can program it without having to open the Apple II case. The extension
cable should be quite easy to knock up at home.

Thanks Red for letting me know about DLPC. I have used DLPC before but
I didn't know that they stocked these connectors. Let's just hope the
custom cables come in at a decent price.
