DC SD Adapter Pinout HELP!

Post by OVERRiDE »

Okay, so I am working on building JJ10DM's DC SD adapter
http://f17.aaa.livedoor.jp/~takotako/dc ... d_if_2.gif

I am using a Dragoncast vs link cable for connection to the serial port.

The problem is, I am not sure what color cable corresponds to the DC pinout. Here is the Dragoncast link cable:

So, the Dragoncast cable has 11 total wires, 9 colors pictured above, then a red and black cable not connected that are innactive.

It would be great to establish what color wire corresponds to pins 1-10 on DC serial pinout. Any help appreciated!
( BTW my multi-meter is 20yrs old + analogue, it is not accurate enough for me to gauge the readings... )

The link you posted is dead now.

You should head over to our friends at http://dreamcast.es . They have made the cables first I believe.
