   my roommate got the best kind of cable: a very rare and unusual cable that's no longer made, and it broke the first time she tried it

     time to beep out the pinout and then figure out what digikey parts we need to build a new one!

     @foone there's like eighty conductors in that thing - I'm terrified by the thought it could be some kind of external IDE nightmare

     @Stormgren I'm not sure. Some kind of HP server, I think? @gewt, can you explain?

     whatta fuck?

     this cable has 8 wires and a shield, right?

     there's only 7 wires that are connected to anything. One of them has no use. It's not soldered to any of the pins on the DB9 end.

     Did they just get a discount on 8-connector shielded cables?
