[Juan Jiménez]

Lol! I am not *that* masochistic. I cut one end of an existing MiniDIN
cable, stripped it and used that to put a DIN connector on there. Blew it
the first time and melted the plastic, got it right the 2nd time. Still a
pain but not nearly as bad as trying to solder MiniDIN with Puerto Rican
Redneck fingers. Thx. :)
