As I tried to state in previous posts, there are so many
different configurations of cables for the Mac/IIgs, and
all look the same, you really have to trust the seller, and
also be aware of model numbers. There are lists of model
numbers on the internet, and you can find out before-hand
whether it is the proper cable.  :o)


Yes, it can be a frustrating endeavour... at least Apple had the decency
to put little pictures on their cables that at least give you a hint,
most of the third-party cables I have are quite mysterious... what I
find really annoying is trying to check continuity on those tiny little
pins :(

I got my gs to talk fine to my PC I had to buy a cable from syndicomm i think it was a iigs to imagewriter not imagewriter ii. Then i bought a db25 to db9 and a db9 nullmodem adapter.
