Brian,
thank you so much for all the detailed information. It’s much appreciated
that you took the time to document what you did. It’s great when members of
these groups freely share information and are happy to help others.
I’m hoping Ian Mavric will take this information and create a working cable.

This cable looks home-made too, but he claims he knows it works and has
used it himself.
Since he not only used the numbers but also a clear picture and description
of plain physical location, there is no ambiguity about it.
Randy: THIS would seem to be the answer to your question finally. You can
duplicate this guys cable using the same parts I linked to on that same wiki
page. But ignore my tentative directions and pictures and go by Ted Saari's.
(I'll update my directions and pics when I have actually verified it for
myself, until then I'll just leave the "not yet verified, see below" note on
mine. But it looks like this is what it's going to end up being.)
It flies in the face of what I said so far! :) His cable has twists in it,
so that tells me that his DIP connector is pinned the same as mine, because I
will have to make twists like that too, in order to get the pinout he describes.
The first cable I made was actually like that, and didn't boot either, but
I convinced myself it was because the twists were wrong and I cut the end off
that cable and scrapped it. So, I predict I still won't get my DVI working even
after I duplicate this supposedly known-good example.
I have another DVI on the way in, so maybe that one will work.
Glad I ordered 10 dip connectors instead of 1!
