why is it w/ zip drives?!?!?  go fig.

i chopped an old parallel cable, and chopped a ti-ti link in half and spliced them.

now, i think i found the prob...  look, per favore?

this is the view from the BACK OF THE LINK... (the side w/ the wires...)

.00........00
 ....00000000

logically this should work cuz i have another pl plug and it has the #s on it... perhaps this is wrong, and i'm fucked up, so please look at your links and tell me if i have it backwards (that would suck).

i'm using the correct diodes, "Silicon Switching Diodes (10) from Radio Shack, type 1N914/1N4148"

the anode & cathode are fine.

the link's not for me, 4 a friend giving me lots of files (Win98, WinNT4, WatcomC/C++ 10.6, Photoshop 5, and a CD that i need copied in a diff format cuz my CDROM won't read the fuxing thing. [arrgh])
