The cable to use is a parallel Laplink cable. It would be cheaper to buy than 
build.

Here is a FAQ I wrote up awhile back for installation over a Laplink cable.

http://www.iquest.net/~jlrowe/parinst.htm

One source of the cables is Dalco.
http://www.dalco.com
800-445-5342

#98945, 6 ft, $7.00
#48025, 25 ft., $12.75

Of course, prices may change and shipping gets involved somewhere in there.

I'm sure there must be other sources as well.

Is Microsoft a Tiger?

There once was a lady from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a Tiger
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the Tiger.
