Of course, NOTHING is ever as simple as we'd like it to be. The parts arrived from IEC and I found out they'd shipped me crimp style DSub connectors instead of solder-cup. Sigh. Do I have a crimp tool? Or the crimp pins or sockets? Of course not.
IDC connectors are not so useful when you have to permute the wires...
I'm going to go to Home Depot for some other stuff I need and I'm going to cross my fingers that maybe in the electrical section they have some stuff I need.
IEC should be willing to replace the incorrect parts. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's! Home page: http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/ "The wastebasket is our most important design tool--and it is seriously underused."
