I know I've got one or two of these cables around here somewhere. Let me know if you still want this and if so, I'll dig around and see if I can find them and take a couple of pics for you.

In looking thru my stuff, I found this old thread that I started on this very subject.

It doesn't have pictures but what it does is point to the older document for building a prior version of the JP1.x interface that includes Tommy's great construction guide. With it you should be able to build the interface as it shows you exactly where to place the components on a piece of perf board and where to connect them to each other on the back side. As you can see in that thread, it is what I used to construct my cable.

Important note from that thread is to cut the cable to pin 5.

All that said, I found my old cable and took a few pics. No wise cracks about my crappy soldering ;-)

Thanks Ellen, your pics are very much detailed, i am sure i'll now be able to build one for my JP1.2 remote with the help of these pics along with the document you've uploaded.
And dont worry about soldering as i am from the same school from which you have passed out.:wink:
