Right you are. I should just have looked at my cables; it's been a long time since I made and modified DVI cables and memory ain't what it used to be.
DIP plugs are offset from dual-row IDC headers so I thought I remembered that the M100 and T200 cables had that offset, but instead they offset the DVI connector pinout to match the M100 so that the later T102 needed that kludged cable. m ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian White To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 10:47 AM Subject: Re: [M100] Model 102 and DVI interface cable and software? I think the cable has every pair swapped. Someone was selling hand made cables on ebay a while back, and it was crimped normal on one side, and the other side the cable was split every 2 wires, and each pair was flipped over. ie: 1 2 2 1 3 4 4 3 ... 27 28 28 27 I saved a couple pics from the ebay ad. This cable is obviously for 102 not 100, because neither end has dip pins. https://goo.gl/photos/Sm8xx3Ys2vJwpQYu7 -- bkw On Jul 12, 2017 9:41 AM, "Mike Stein" <mhs.st...@gmail.com> wrote: Owner's manual here: ftp://ftp.whtech.com/club100/doc/dvi.pdf I've never tried it but AFAIK the 102 and 200 use a straight-through 40-pin cable such as used for older PC PATA hard disks. I don't know if anyone has figured out how to create a DVI boot disk from scratch (i.e. an image file); your best bet would probably be to have someone mail you a disk. m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher" <piperfo...@gmail.com> To: <m100@lists.bitchin100.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 9:14 AM Subject: [M100] Model 102 and DVI interface cable and software? Hello! I managed to procure a Disk/Video Interface in good aesthetic condition but untested. It also did not come with the bus interface cable required, either for an M100 or M102, and did not come with any software. Any hints on getting this thing connected and tested? Is it possible to buy or build the required interface cable to connect to a Model 102? What about the software/driver? Is that something that can be loaded through means other than a floppy in the DVI? (This also didn’t come with any documentation, so if I’m asking questions that are obvious and are answered elsewhere, I apologize, and would love to be directed to whatever information resources for the DVI exist.) Thanks! Christopher
