RE: [PLUG] Zaurus - Data Comm. Cable


Of course you could splice them together instead of using adaptors to
connect them, you could make a smaller cable this way.  You don't even
need the pin-outs, because you can figure those out fairly easily or do
continuity tests on the cable before you rip it apart.
