Howdy y'all.. yea, I made mine. I was nerve wracking, but since I have a Nasa soldering certificate, I knew how to solder those$#@^^&%^&#little pins
Ha! What ever you do, DO NOT buy the plugs with crimp pins, find the ones that you can remove the pins from the plastic housing. Makes it much easier to solder. Also, the hard part is finding a multicore cable with ONE conductor shielded, as one of the signals requires a shielded conductor. I never found it, so I did the next best thing and it worked great. I found a multi conductor(8 I think,) cable with a shield, which I used as a shield from plug cover to plug cover. There was no ground connector for the plugs cover, so I unbraided the shield and drew it back so the relief clamp tightened on it at each end. Don't know if this really did anything, but what the hell. The conductor requiring its own shield, was simple. I just ran a seperate single conductor cable along with the multiconductor, and soldered the shield to the correct pin, and the conductor itself to the correct pin. Worked like a charm. More than one way to skin a ....SHIELD...hahahaha!! I never told it that it was adopted, probably never knew anyway.
Ok, for the pinouts, I have them written down somewhere, but haven't unpacked those boxes since I moved. Give me a day and I'll dig em out. Crap, six months here and I still have a ton of boxes to unpack
My kindom for a week of free time...
Anyway, like I said, I just have to find my notes. One word of warning. There are two of the conductors/pins that have to be reversed at opposite plugs. I'll mark these clearly in a drawing I'll post for you. If you somehow foul these up, I read it can damage the unit. Well, talk to you in a day or so. BTW, congrats on getting a Midiizer....they are FANTASTIC.! Damn were they expensive when new. Got mine on ebay new in the box.....at one tenth the price of new. YAHOO!!
