..... the nonsense garbage goes here.......

 

I just pity you, no more, no less

Any female sio plugs ever made by anyone?

That would be a "Jack." So why isn't it a "Jenny?"

 

Steve Tucker (Atarimax) had some made, I believe. My SIO2PC-USB has a white, non-oem jack on it.

You mean a male socket. Male/female refers to the pins themselves, plug/socket refers to the connector body. You can have male plugs, female plugs, male receptacles, and female receptacles. When you just say male or female, it's pretty ambiguous because so many people make this mistake, but on the other hand, there's still a significant group that doesn't make the mistake. Not like people calling a connector an 'RJ45' when in fact RJ45 refers to a cabling standard, not the connector itself (the connector is an 8P8C modular jack). In that case, it's not too ambiguous, you can usually understand they mean just the connector when they say RJ45 since at least 95% of people make this same mistake.

I am talking about the female sio jack that is in the atari conputer with the male pins.

Does anyone have a source for the SIO plugs? This thread looks old but could use a supplier.

 

Thanks,

Lotharek sells them: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=103

Lotharek's are of transparent plastic about $7 each. They aren't 3D printed, instead being injection molded using custom made dies.

 

Here is a link to a video he has posted showing the manufacture of these.
