Simple Commodore drive question
Is there anything special about the serial disk drive cable for the 1541s or will any straight through 6 pin DIN work? I have several drives but I don't seem to have any of the cables. Thanks, Kelly
Not straight through. See the following link for reference: https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56401&start=0 On Tue, May 17, 2022 at 12:34 PM Kelly Leavitt via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

So this may be a stupid question but if you wire cable pin to pin, does not not mean straight through? Like, pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc..? Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Think about two din connectors facing away from each other. If you ran a wire straight-through from pin 5 on one side, it would go to pin 1 on the other side. On Tue, May 17, 2022 at 2:44 PM Sentrytv <sentrytv@yahoo.com> wrote:

Dean, That's not my definition of straight through. Straight through means 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc. Like Sentrytv said. I can see it from your point of view, but that's not what I meant. ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> on behalf of Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 2:45 PM To: Sentrytv <sentrytv@yahoo.com> Cc: Dean Notarnicola <dnotarnicola@gmail.com>; vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Simple Commodore drive question Think about two din connectors facing away from each other.

Gotcha. Sorry for the confusion, but hopefully that clears things up! On Tue, May 17, 2022 at 3:04 PM Kelly Leavitt via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

If we want to be pedantic, I think Dean is thinking of a rollover cable :) (12345 --> 54321) -J On Tue, May 17, 2022 at 12:05 PM Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
