Atari-Collector Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I need to get another SIO cable for my floppy drive as I had to cannibalize the one I had for my homemade SIO2PC adapter.. There's some on feebay.. But I don't see that as the but option to buy one since seller get hit by so many fees and that gets passed to the buyer.. So I was wondering where to get one that will ship to Canada for a reasonable price (or better yet a Canadian seller) THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ask Lotharek - he and Duddie from Poland made some SIO connector. Maybe he prepare one full cable for You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best 408-278-1070 http://best-electronics-ca.com 5 foot SIO cable $11 in my catalog. So just get two. Afternoons California time. $20 minimum order, pick up some cartridges or something.

Atari-Collector Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look at them later. maybe order more then just a cable to offset the ship a bit.. Shipping it always the big pain in getting stuff like this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartian Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I probably have one I could spare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiffleplop Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I could do with a SIO cable myself actually if anyone's got one going spare in the UK or nearby. Alternatively, I could make my own if someone points me in the right direction to get a compatible plug with a bit of wire on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Fred_M Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) There is also an European source. Rewindgames has SIO cables for 7 euros each. Shipping costs to anywhere in the world for one or two cables are 5.25 euros.

Wiffleplop Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am highly susceptible to suggestion, so have ordered one. Go me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiffleplop Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Got mine this morning Fred, thanks. Might have invalidated the warranty by hacking it in half though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
