Hi!

I think that a normal parallel cable for printers doesn't work with SuperFlashCard. Is this correct?

I wish make a compatible parallel cable.

Is this configuración corred?

PC conector pin ----- SuperFlashCard pin
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
11 11
12 12
13 13
14 14
15 15
16 16
17 Not connected
18 Not connected
19 19
20 20
21 21
22 22
23 23
24 24

There's no point in making one. You need a "straight-thru" 25 pin male to male cable. The ones you can buy would be of far finer quality than anything you could just make.

Get a generic cable. Don't get any name brand ones.
