I am using the "barreled crimped D-sub connectors" that I purchased from
B&C. Heck, I don't have enough hands to use those pressed steal types.
Maybe I will try the soldered ones, but my soldering skills are mediocre at
best...but improving <g>.
Thanks for the feedback.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Are you using solder pin or crimp pin connectors?
