this LACK of DB19 Male Connectors, Steve(BMOW) is experiencing has me thinking of other ways to connect something to the DB19 floppy port of the mac.

so in my experimenting i removed a DB19 connector from a dead main board.  And decided to clip chunks of 2's off my header here.

its funny how as 2's they line up diagonally perfectly, then just a little bit of trimming for the final single pin, pin 10

so i pop all these into the female DB19,  and put some super glue on the outside of them all, so they lock in as one connector.

Then I let that fan cure.   Next, Soldered on the wires and used some better rubberized adhesive GOOP on the pins and such, next shrink tubed over that.

Haven't tested it yet i'm letting the GOOP set up… but i think it should work good.

at-least for this use…   not sure about floppy emu use… but maybe if we get desperate enough… it should probably work as long as one doesnt

get too messy with the super glue.

Mechanically it fits into the connector nice and snug, feels like the female connector that would be on the main board has a nice bite on it.
