PC to Z88 Cable

 

There are two types of PC to Z88 Cables available that can be used on all the Desktop computer  platforms.

  1. Z88 9 way male to 9 way female (Later PC Standard)
  2. Z88 9 way male to 25 way female (IBM PC standard)

 

Warning
titleWARNING - This is not a standard cable

Please DO NOT be tempted to rush out and get a standard 9 way male to female cable. They WILL NOT WORK. There are two reasons for this.

  1. The Z88 connector end has no screws in them. If they are there, they will prevent the plug from being inserted into the Z88.
  2. The wiring of the pins is different to the standard connections as the Z88 came out before the standard for the 9 way connection was established.

The correct cable (still sealed in a bag from Cambridge Computers) is available from Rakewell Ltd.

Using Adapters

If a you use the Z88 9 way male to 25 way female cable, you will need to use a 25 to 9 way adapter is used, please to use the 9 pin plug on the modern Desktops or USB Adapters.. Please ensure that all the 9 way pins are connected. Some adapters only connect 3 of the pins, sometimes the only way to tell is to buy one and test the connections with a meter before use.
