Need cable for Intel 386 upgrade board

[bobba84]

Hi guys,

I bought this off eBay


But it didn't come with the special cable to go to the original 8088 socket!

Does anyone have one spare? Or can anyone take some good photos of said cable so I can attempt to re-create it?

Thanks in advance!

I bought one pre-made from DigiKey awhile back. I'm trying to find it and hope is has the Digikey part number on the bag.

Thanks Chuckster!

Just wondering if you could tell me which side of the IC connector wire 1 goes to (end of cable or inside edge) - I could maybe make one myself if I could tell which side to start on!

I'll have to get back to you later on that. My cable is packed away somewhere.
Stay tuned.

hello
i don't know if you have a standard cable - but on page 2-9 to 2-13 , there is a guide "how to"

PS looks like you bought inboard with extra ram module - always nice to have extra ram !

This company offers a custom cable for a reasonable price. The one listed below is 24" long for $19. I'm thinking you would only need one 6" - 8".

Thanks heaps guys for the replies!

I actually have an IDE cable and a 40 pin DIP ready to go... I just need to know the pinout... ie, which pin on the board end goes to the top left on the DIP, etc. Does that make sense?

Cheers!

...why i dont see any connection on pin 20 , i dont know (but this cabel is working !)
