This is an adapter to easier add a parallel port for the Commodore 1541 and 1541-II diskettedrive.
Item list.
* 15CM 10 wire flatcable.
* 15pin D-sub female(not the VGA type), either solder or for IDC ribbon cable (last one recommended).

* 2 x 20 pins sil header male-male. (turned/tulip recommended).
All items can be found on eBay or your favorite electronics pusher.
Pin 1 from the PCB connects to Pin 1 of the D-sub connector, 2 to 2 etc.

Washers is needed for the 1541-II drive to lift the mechanical parts.
