| Help: Making an ADB Extension Cable |
Posted by: sadmanonatrain on 2014-09-15 04:54:31
Hello all,
I have a spare ADB lead which I cut off of an AppleDesign keyboard and an ADB port that I unsoldered from a scrap IIci 'board. I would like to attached them together to create an ADB extension cable.
Does anybody know what each colour wire corresponds to?
Red:
White:
Blue:
Green:
Pin 1 ADB Data Pin 2 PSW Power on Pin 3 +5V +5 volts power Pin 4 GND Ground
Thank you!

Don't have that info offhand, but thought I'd mention a couple of things for you and the gang:
If you don't have one already, pick up a continuity tester, they're invaluable for the hobby and the fastest way to determine pin assignments/color coding for this kind of thing.
Consider ordering S-Video connectors for this purpose.
Consider re-purposing (currently cheap as dirt ;D ) PS/2 KVM Switches with panel mount version of same. They're the equivalent of your extension cable,but for several Macs at once in that config.

Consider ordering S-Video connectors for this purpose. Or consider ordering an entire S-Video extension cable.
