Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Strange little db23 to db23 board I found
« Last post by Physengineer on December 16, 2025, 07:06:13 PM »I recently dragged my old amiga 2000 out of mothballs, and among the bits and pieces I found was this tiny board, with a db23 male on one side and a db23 female on the other side. All it does is rearrange some of the signals. I don't know if it is for the external floppy or the video connector, but looking at the connections, it does not completely make sense for either. It would disable the write data signal, or it remove the horizontal sync and digital red signal. It could even be left over from my amiga 1000 that I no longer have. Before I pull the connectors off it (to make a cable for my external floppies) I would like to know why I bought this? What is it for?
The pinout is as follows:
female male
1 1
2 NC
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 NC
10 10
11 NC
12 12
13 13
14 14
15 15
16 9
17 2
18 18
19 19
20 20
21 21
22 11
23 23
NC 16
NC 17
NC 22
Any Help would be appreciated.
