Pinout used is a de facto standard parallel null cable -- sold as a "LapLink" cable by various places.  You'll need a 12-conductor  cable to make one yourself.   The wiring is:           SLCTIN      17 - 17           GROUND      25 - 25           D0->ERROR   2 - 15          15 - 2           D1->SLCT    3 - 13          13 - 3           D2->PAPOUT  4 - 12          12 - 4           D3->ACK     5 - 10          10 - 5           D4->BUSY    6 - 11          11 - 6WARNING    Do not connect the other pins.  They are           D5,D6,D7 are 7,8,9           STROBE is 1, FEED is 14, INIT is 16           extra grounds are 18,19,20,21,22,23,24 If you want to play with these files , I would recoment you buy a normal  PLIP-cable and don't bother making one your self , if you mess up wiring you can actualy toast your parallel-port and if thats located on the  motherboard you are probably in trouble. for details on unsing PLIP connections check the file name PLIP in the howto/mini/ directory of any HOWTO site.
