Re: tlug: "laplink cable"

[kenhrd@example.com (Ken Harada)]

Scott,

I think I have a cable named "Laplink cable" which I never used
and will not.  I once thought I can install on my old notebook
through PLIP, but I shifted to ethernet.

If you can accept, I can ship it to you on "freight charge
collect basis".

Let's confirm the pin assignment first:

DB25/male		DB25/male
2			15
3			13
4			12
5			10
6			11
15			1
13			3
12			4
10			5
11			6
18			18
19			19
20			20
21			21
22			22
23			23
24			24
25			25
shell (shield)		shell

Length is 1.5m, made in China, supplied by Justy (Try Corp),
called "Interlink Paralell Cross Cable for DOS/V".

Regards,
Ken
