You should follow these instructions if you want to put the electronical parts onto a mini-adaptor, which you can hide inside the case of the parallel port plug.

Important notes

• On circuit diagrams, plugs are displayed as viewed from the back side, the solder side. Chips are displayed as viewed from above; also, see the small semicircular cut for finding the correct orientation. When in doubt, see the corresponding description on the legend page.

Construction

First, create the XA1541 mini-adaptor.

You need the following parts to build this cable:

• One solderable 6-pin male DIN plug (Commodore serial plug)

• A shielded 4-wire or unshielded 5-wire cable of, preferably, at most 2 meters

Step 1. Solder one end of the cable onto the DIN plug.

Step 2. Solder the other end of the cable onto the XA1541 mini-adaptor port. These include the following connections:

   DIN plug   
 Adaptor port 

    2, GND     
      1        

    3, ATN     
      2        

    4, CLK     
      3        

    5, DATA    
      5        

    6, RESET
