Branching PowerKey ADB Cable?

Posted by: SuperSVGA on 2017-12-18 00:16:49 Does anyone know anything about the PowerKey Classic's ADB cable? Here's the diagram they show from the manual: I've got one coming in a few weeks, but it doesn't appear to include the cable. Would just using a simple passive S-Video splitter work?

Posted by: olePigeon on 2017-12-19 18:15:35 I have 2, and they both came with the cable.  It's a single cable with a Y connector on the end.  A bit wonky, but it works.

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2017-12-20 09:13:27 Y-splitting in the cable works fine for ADB, but a video splitter isn't necessarily passive. Make sure it is before testing.
