Weird CD-ROM Cable
« on: January 24, 2013, 10:24:31 AM »
I purchased a SCSI cdrom for my Amiga and bought a universal cd-rom audio cable for it but it seems that this cd-rom a Plextor PX-40TSI uses a non standard cable

If you zoom in on the connector you see the pins are flattened not the standard square types

anybody know where to get one?

Well I desolderd the audio socket on the CD-Rom and hard wired a cd-rom cable to the logic board.
