Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] laplink cable

Hi Peter,

The serial cable is about 7 wires, the parallel cable should be most of
them. Pins 18-25 on the parallel might not all be there, as they are
usually grounds. Can't imagine what you're going to do; I'd get a
STANDARD parallel cable, and cut that!

You might try to buzz out the cable first.
