TPA5 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Hey all, I am getting ready to put together a DIY SIO2PC for my Atari 400, but I have a question. I grabbed female-female connectors from eBay to fit the pins on the FTDI, but they don't fit on the SIO pins on my Atari. What size of connector do I need to fit on the SIO pins so I can wire it to the FTDI? Thanks! Edited March 11, 2016 by TPA5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) The Atari SIO connector is an obsolete proprietary format that is not commonly available. Lotharek in Poland has a source he uses for his devices, but most people end up using cables salvaged from dead or obsolete peripherals (like program recorders and dot matrix printers, etc).

Fox-1 / mnx Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If it's about functionality in stead of aesthetics, wire it up internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=85 Thank you for the link! If it's about functionality in stead of aesthetics, wire it up internally. I definitely want to keep it stock, so I want an external solution. Thanks for the suggestion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
