Re: Parallel link; help!
I buy all of my parts (ecept for the three conductor wire) from mouser
(http://www.mouser.com). Here is the parts list:
Part Catalog #
------------------------------------------ -----------
2.5 mm Jack/socket: 161-3408
D-SUB 25-Pin connector: 156-1225
Hood for the 25-Pin connector: 156-2025
1N4148 Diodes: 538-1N4148
Then I buy the wire at Radio Shack 278-871
