MacUser, January 1990 discussed re-wiring a modem cable for use with high speed modems. Included in that article is a shematic of the changes needed to adapt the current cable. Use this as a guide for making your modem cable. They say you can still use the adapted cable with a slow modem. Words to the effect of the schem: DIN 8 pin number 25 pin D pin number 1 20 2 5 3 2 4 7 5 3 The adaptation for high-speed modems, cut the 1 to 20 wire, replace with a 1 to 4 wire. Enjoy... P.S. I just purchased a modem cable with 8 pin DIN connector, plugged it into my 9 pin DIN connector on a Mac Plus. It works so far (10 minutes or so). Anyone know of any problems related to this arrangement? erico@tekcae.CAX.TEK.COM | oostere@ure.CS.ORST.EDU ---------------Eric Oosterhof----------------------- Ready for employment, start date, mid June, 1990.
