Fortunately, modern Macs dont need crossovers any more:-) On Apr 13, 2005, at 01:00, Amanda Ward wrote:
Hi Tom,
There are guidelines for wiring the connectors. This link (grabbed at random) covers some of it.

The important thing to remember is... for a standard, straight through cable
both connectors must be wired in the exact same order. Keeping the colors
straight is nice, but not required. Just make sure pin 1 is wired to pin 1,
pin 2 to pin 2 and so on.
The crossover cable (direct connect, computer to computer) is a different
animal altogether and I won't pretend to remember how that works. I've made
just one of them in over 15 years.
HTH,
