There are already Din-5-F to mini-din-8-M premade.
All that is left is to buy a few for those who wish
to use it on their IIc+'s. I will probably put the
Female DIN-5 in the Mockingboard itself, that way
they would just use the cable they need for the
computer they are connecting it to, and did I mention
that this can be also used on a IIe equipped with the
Super Serial Card plugged into Slot 2?
