This is a simple method of making a non i.c BLACKCAT CABLE

Below is a list of the items you will need from www.maplins.co.uk

1 x JB59P [2X5 DIL IDC SOCKET]
1 x JB85G [2X5 IDC PCB HEADER]
1 x XR74R [FLAT IDC
CABLE 20 WAY
(SEPARATE INTO 2x 10
WAY)]
1 x YQ48C [D-SUB 25 WAY
plug]
1 x JW91Y [25W D TYPE
HOOD]
Step 1: Open the DIL idc socket and slide the idc cable through and squeeze tightly to close the socket.
Take note of the way the socket is facing below.
Step 2: At the other end of the idc cable cut the wires like in the pic below.
You will not be using 3,5,7,9 so cut and remove these wires

Step 3: Solder wires to the rear of the 25-way plug, make sure to follow the pic below & above.
The number 1 wire should bridge 4 pins on the bottom row as in picture
