maimonides Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi! So I recently picked up a "CoCo" and a tape cassette drive for it! Only problem is the drive has no cable! Would it be possible for me to just take 5 wires, strip both ends on them and insert the wires in the same holes on both the CoCo and the drive? I hope this makes sense, I did something similar to make a AV cable for my Genesis model 1. Do you think it will work? Will it screw up my CoCo? Thanks!

jhd Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have no idea how easy it would be to find one, but the very same cable was used on the TRS-80 Model I/III/IV. Two of the tape deck connectors are standard 1/8" plugs, but one was much smaller -- 1/16"? It could conceivably work with just the audio in and out lines, but you would have to manually start and stop the tape deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
