Adi,

You can make that jumper from parts in a good electronics catalog and
it shouldn't cost you much.  Try these (www.mouser.com, www.alliedelec.com,
www.jameco.com). You might have to buy a plug and some cable and then
close the right lines but that is much cheaper than Zeiss's price.

When you find the messed up component(s) the catalogs should help you
get a replacement.  There is a problem though, some times components
are custom designed and programmed.  This can be a real headache, I've
had to tell people that I found the problem and they don't make the
solution any more.  Then life gets real interesting.....

Thanks,

Kevin Cunningham
