boisy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I received my SIO2PC from AtariMax today (https://www.atarimax.com/sio2pc/documentation/jack/index.php?imgid=0). Now due to gender issues, it appears I need an SIO cable. Does anyone have a recommended source for such a cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boisy Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I found a cable from Best Electronics and will order one there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Just be sure to play by Brad's rules if you are ordering from Best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisy Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Ok, I'll bite What are his rules? You're implying that he's a bit hard to deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 If you end up inadvertently making Brad mad, or annoying him in some hard-to-foresee manner, you can get newly-made SIO cables from Lotharek in Poland, @MacRorie at The Brewing Academy; or @Gavin1968 at The Vintage Computer Center. So you have options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I didn’t realize that Marlin had them. If Mac has them at The Brewing Academy, then I’d say go with him. Best of the lot by a long stretch if you’re in North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisy Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Well apparently my $15 order didn't meet his minimum of $20, so I'm going to have to get it somewhere else. I'll check with the Brewing Academy, as I have several boards in for repair there at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Yes, I think that would be wise. I've never had any trouble with Brad at Best personally, but I hear he's getting quirkier by the day, and I certainly have no reason to disbelieve all of the many, many stories I've read of the nightmares others have had dealing with him. Dealing with Marlin is nothing but a joy. You can't go wrong with The Brewing Academy. Edited May 30, 2020 by bfollowell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
