hueyjones70 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Does anyone know where I could buy some SIO connectors to repair cables and to make some short cables out of longer cables. I looked at Lotharek but his shipping is way to high because he will only sell in sets of 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Lotharek is the best place to get them AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madi Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Since you are in USA, it will be more feasible to order individual SIO plugs from B & C ComputerVision. SIO plugs (female) PRA051 CONN 13 PIN I/O CABLE FM $4.00 They also sell the SIO cables for US $15.00 This is the website for B & C ComputerVision In addition, Best Electronics, sells SIO cables for US $10.00 Atari 400 / 800 / XL / XE / Disk Drive / Peripheral SIO Devices 3 foot SIO cable CA014122 $10.00 This is the website for Best electronics. Finally, you will find the SIO cables on eBay for as low as $12.95 Note: Watch for handling and chipping charges. madi Edited July 23, 2017 by Madi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gozar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Does anyone know where I could buy some SIO connectors to repair cables and to make some short cables out of longer cables. I looked at Lotharek but his shipping is way to high because he will only sell in sets of 4. Whenever I order something from Lotharek I throw in a pack of 4 SIO plugs. Maybe order a few things?

NISMOPC Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 For reference, I just purchased some from BEST with some other items. New Atari 13 pin Female SIO cable connectors CB101272 - $4.45 USD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMil Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I have bought many SIO hoods and female connectors from Best. I also buy 5' cables on ebay and then I cut them down to about 8 inch lengths and add the new connectors. I now have four 8" connectors between my drives and a 12" cable for the 850. Plus I made an 18 inch cable to connect to the computer. It looks so much better without all those long cables back there. I can actually 'see' which cable goes to which device without having to trace them down by hand. DavidMil 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
