where to buy SIO cable?

Recommended Posts

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

Ask Lotharek - he and Duddie from Poland made some SIO connector. Maybe he prepare one full cable for You.

B&C 530-295-9270 www.myatari.com looks like $4 for a female to female 13 pin SIO cable.

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.

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..

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?

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.

 

End of commercial break ;-) (because this is my webshop)

Got mine this morning Fred, thanks. Might have invalidated the warranty by hacking it in half though :?
