CABLE CONSTRUCTION TO BUILD 26-3014 CABLE

Since the 26-3014 cable is now discontinued, the following procedure
may prove useful to those who want to create a cable to allow connection
from the serial port on the back of a Color Computer (1, 2, or 3) to a
modem having only a DB25 type connector.

Required:
4-pin DIN to 4-pin DIN cable (26-3020)
"D" Submini Male Connector (DB25) (276-1547)

Remove one end from the cable and connect the DB25 connector:

White wire   Pin 2    Red wire      Pin 7

Green wire   Pin 3    Yellow wire   Pin 8


This cable will provide the necessary connections for communication.
Some modems or some functions of some modems may require additional pins
to be held high (voltage present) or low (connected to ground).  See the
documentation for the modem for that information.
