Too fat to plug-in...

Post by chriskgnr »

Hello to everyone! :)
Recently i purchased 2X 6way, 630A type plugs and 2X 6way, 631A plugs to use them with homemade(that i wanted to make) SER and CTRL ports cables. But they don't plug in. They are.. fat! :o And i checked again and again the photos before i put my order... :?

There was a thread on this - http://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=530

Unfortunately, no-one seems to know the exact part number for the original plugs used for the QL / Spectrum

You will need to file them down to fit - or I do have some QL serial port adaptors (to 25 pin) here if you would prefer one of those.

Some images of the Left and Right plugs with a white BT for comparision.

You should be able to see the difference between the BT and QL versions and what to remove from the BT one on a couple of the pictures.
