I should add that I made my cable out of an old "parallel port extention cable" by chopping one end off and rewiring with a new connector. That guarantees at least one end is "factory good", and cuts down the workload a lot. You have to spend a little time correlating pins with wire colors, and of course double check when you're done, but you'd have to do that anyway. This only works if you're not carrying a lot of power through the power and ground wires, so I had to make my own radio connector because it required 20ga wire and the parallel cable was only 24 ga or so.
