.... READERS RESPOND..DEAR LOAD
STAR,.. I NEED A LITTLE HELP FROM SOME
OF.YOUR USERS. I JUST GOT THIS.FANTASTI
C VERSION OF THE ARCADE GAME."MARBLE MAD
NESS" BY ELECTRONIC ARTS.AND HAVE PLAYED
AND MASTERED ALL 6.REGULATION LEVELS.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS.QUITE AN ACHIVEMENT U
NTIL I CAUGHT.RUMOR OF A "SECRET LEVEL"
HIDDEN.WITHIN THE C64 VERSION ONLY. A Q
UICK.CALL TO EA CONFIRMED THIS, BUT ALAS
.THEY WOULD NOT DIVULGE ANY CLUES AS.TO
HOW TO GET THERE. SOMEBODY PLEASE.HELP
ME BEFORE I LOSE CONTROL........
JEFFARY R SONNENTAG.
FRANKLIN, WI..> HOW ABO
UT IT FOLKS? CAN WE HELP.> JEFFARY OUT?
..- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.
..DEAR LOADSTAR,.. I WOULD LIKE TO REPL
Y TO DEBORAH.BREWER, WHO WAS WONDERING A
BOUT A "Y".CONNECTER FOR THE TWO PRINTER
S THAT.SHE HAS. THE PARTS REQUIRED FOR
THIS.PROJECT ARE ALL AVAILABLE FROM YOUR
.LOCAL RADIO SHACK OR ELECTRONIC PARTS.S
TORE. THIS PROJECT REQUIRES SIMPLE.TOOL
S, A SOLDERING IRON, AND.PATIENCE....
THE PARTS LIST FOLLOWS:.. 1 6-PIN DI
N PLUG RS #274-020. 2 6-PIN DIN JACK
S RS #274-021. RIBBON CABLE:.
25 WIRE RS #278-772. 3
6 WIRE RS #278-774. (OR SIMILAR, BUT A
T LEAST 12 WIRE).. THE 36-WIRE CABLE
IS MORE EXPEN-.SIVE, BUT YOU CAN ALSO US
E IT TO MAKE.CENTRONICS PARELLEL EXTENSI
ON CABLES.... 1) CUT OFF A 12-STRAND PI
ECE OF THE. CABLE, ABOUT FIVE OR SIX
INCHES. LONG... 2) DIVIDE ONE END
OF THE CABLE INTO. TWO 6-WIRE PIGTAI
LS, WITH THE. SPLIT GOING ABOUT HALF
WAY DOWN. THE CABLE... 3) NOW, SPLI
T THE ENDS OF THE CABLE. APART, SO T
HAT EACH WIRE IS. ABOUT A 1/2-INCH L
ONG... 4) STRIP THE ENDS OF THE WIRE AB
OUT. 1/8-INCH, AND PUT A VERY SMALL.
DAB OF SOLDER ON THE END, JUST.
ENOUGH SO THAT THE ENDS WON'T. COME
APART. THIS WILL ALSO MAKE. IT EAS
IER TO SOLDER THE WIRE TO. THE PLUG.
.. 5) TAKE THE PLUGS APART. THE PLUG.
SHOULD COME IN THE PACKAGE. SLIG
HTLY APART ALREADY, BUT IN. THE CASE
OF THE RADIO SHACK. PLUGS, IF IT IS
NOT APART, THEN. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS TO SLIP. A SMALL FLAT-BLADE SCRE
WDRIVER. UNDER THE TAB ON THE OUTSID
E OF. THE PLUG, LIFT UP ON IT, AND.
PULL OUT THE METAL PLUG PORTION.
(YES, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO. EAS
Y)... 6) LOOK AT THE INSIDES OF THE PLU
G. AND JACKS. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT.
THERE ARE TINY NUMBERS NEXT TO.
THE PINS, FROM 1 TO 6. WHAT WE. WI
LL BE DOING IS TO SOLDER TWO. WIRES
ON THE UNSPLIT END OF THE. CABLE TO
ONE PIN ON THE PLUG,. AND ONE WIRE T
O ONE PIN ON THE. JACKS. A QUICK DI
AGRAM:.. PLUG: 1 2 3 4 5 6.
A A A A A A. B B
B B B B. * -----ETC-----.
*. ***. *
*. * *. JACK 1 1 J
ACK. A B... 7) FOLD THE
CABLE IN HALF, LENGTH-. WISE. TAKE
THE FIRST TWO. STRANDS (OPPOSITE EA
CH OTHER,. NOT SIDE-BY-SIDE), AND SO
LDER. THEM TO PIN #1 ON THE PLUG. N
OW. SOLDER THE CORRESPONDING WIRES.
ON THE PIGTAILS TO PIN #1 ON. EA
CH JACK. REPEAT THIS PROCESS. FOR P
INS 2 THROUGH 6... 8) NOW THAT ALL OF T
HE SOLDERING IS. FINISHED, REASSEMBL
E THE CONN-. ECTORS. AND THAT'S ALL
!. IF YOU HAVE AN OHM-METER OR.
CONTINUITY CHECKER, THEN YOU CAN. MA
KE SURE THAT THE CABLE IS GOOD. BY I
NSERTING ONE LEAD INTO THE. PLUG, AN
D THE OTHER LEAD INTO. THE CORRESPON
DING PIN ON THE. JACK. YOU SHOULD G
ET AN OHM. READING OF ZERO, OR CONTI
NUITY.. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN CHECK TH
E. OTHER PINS TO SEE WHERE THE WIRE.
IS. THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO DISS-.
ASSEMBLE THE CONNECTOR AND. SWITC
H THE WIRES TO WHERE THEY. SHOULD GO
.... I MADE THIS Y-ADAPTOR FOR MYSELF.W
HEN I BOUGHT A PRINTER IN ADDITION.TO MY
PLOTTER/PRINTER. I DID NOT.INCLUDE A S
WITCH WITH IT BECAUSE THE.CONSTRUCTION W
OULD HAVE GOTTEN A BIT.MORE COMPLEX. IF
YOU HAVE TWO.PRINTERS, YOU WILL HAVE TO
TURN ONE.OF THEM OFF WHILE YOU ARE USIN
G THE.OTHER ONE. OTHERWISE YOU WILL WIN
D.UP WITH ONE VERY CONFUSED COMPUTER!.I
WISH YOU GOOD LUCK WITH THIS.PROJECT....
