First off I want to appologize if this is the wrong place to post this thread, but it made sense to me. I would have tacked this onto the original thread except it's been closed for a while now I think. I tried searching but was unable to find anything, but that doesn't mean it's not already there, so if it is, please post a link so I can just go there. The original thread is: http://nokiafree.org/forums/t4847/h/s.html
To get to the point of this post, I wanted to know how to make a 3-in-1 box mostly as I don't have any DCT4 phones, though I plan on getting one soon for my fiancee (She wants a color screen :p ) and so possibly a 4-in-1 cable.
In the thread it had been suggested to make a DCT4-Flasher-F/Mbus cable and I was wondering if any more thought has been put thought towards that.
I checked the good dr's site, but could find the 3-in-1 cable, but a DCT4 cable is there as well. I was looking at it, but I'm not much of an electrician and also am not sure how the DCT4 cable works so I can't figure any ways to combine them together. I'm going to research how the DCT4 cable works to try and see if I can come up with anything but was thinking of perhaps a hard switch just to get it started, but I don't know where to put it.
I also had a question about the 3-in-1 cable. I've seen other flasher cable schemes that call for less wires coming from the DB25 cable allowing it to be used with a PS/2 style connector. I am wondering if they just have the DB25 pins that go to VCC all hooked to the same PS/2 pin? I don't have the schematic sitting in front of me at the moment, but I think if doing that, it reduces the wires to 6.
The reason I'm asking this is I bought a flasher and F/Mbus set of cables that have PS/2 ends and would like to hook them to a box and have the end that goes to the phone another PS/2 connector to plug the phone ends cables into so that I don't have to switch cables depending on what phone I'm working on, just plug it in and then plug the end needed for the phone in and possibly flick a switch if needed and presto.
Sincerely,
Gorgarath
