Typo?  Actually the cost is about $100, still for a 25 pin device it's not
worth it.  If you can spare another irq I'd get the second card with a 25
pin connector already on it.  DB 68 connectors are pretty pricey.  Try to
build one yourself and you'll see<g>.   This one also needs active
termination on the unused pinds to boot so it's not a real easy cable to
make. Lots of labor.
