  • User Port Connector Enclosure

    From Charles Gutman@3:770/3 to All on Monday, August 17, 2020 21:40:48
    I'm working on an RS232 Cable, but have came to realize that it looks crappy. Does anyone h or ppen to know where I may locate a thin enclosure for the user port connector end near the C64?
    The other end looks beautiful and I really desire to make it look like an "actual cable."

    Thanks so much

    Would a 3D printed one be acceptable?

    Actually I'm not skilled enough to work this concept. I was just thinking of a minor 1 timer project with two pieces of thin plastic with 4 corner holes drilled in it to cover my telnet cable end.

    Thank you
