:This is Ricks original PCB, with parts and directions to build a cable where:
:*The DB25 backshell is a special type that actually fits in the Model 100/102 serial port opening.
:*The TPDD connector is made with a standard "Dupont" housing, instead of having to find an irreplaceable FB100 and destroy it.
[[TPDD_BKW_RS_Cable|Refined version of Rick's PCB]]
:This is all the same parts, and all the same work as the cable above, merely the PCB is redesigned to be as compact as possible, leaving more room inside the backshell for wires and cable strain-relief.
