I'm afraid I should probably hang onto my C64 cables, but I can tell you that it should be easy to make your own. All it would need is a trip to Radio Shack. All of the connectors are still available. Heck if you want I could probably dig mine out and tell you how to wire it.

Really? I'm sure I made a similar plug at one point. Maybe Radio Shacks in Canada have different stock. Or had different stock, it was a long time ago.

The Radio Shack 8 pin DIN plugs are ever-so-slightly different from the commodore 8-pin plugs. I believe you're looking for something called a 270 degree 8-pin DIN, which are a real pain to find.

TNX for the clue, probably right, the pins ar smaller in diameter and not the same distance from the shell. I have one cable . need to find or make a couple more, luckly I found a 128 cable they are really strange.

I'm sorry, I must be thinking of the keyboard/system to floppy drive cable. I know for sure I made an adaptor at one point to hook up the ol' 5 1/4" C64 floppy to my PC's parallel port (on a 286 and a 386 at the time). Still, if it doesn't have to be pretty it wouldn't be too hard to come up with some setup that would work.
