TEKNOR offers a 10-pin header to 9-pin DSUB cable for IBM-AT compatibility. This
can be purchased from TEKNOR or a cable can be made with a flat cable, a 10-pin flat
cable crimp header and a 9-pin DSUB flat cable crimp connector. The use of Taïwanese
adapter cables is not recommended, since the pinout is often incorrect. The direct crimp
design offered by TEKNOR allows the simplest cable assembly. All these cables are
available from TEKNOR by contacting the Sales department.
