NEC84 > SB Pro audiocabl
3 messages in this thread
I've got my NEC 84 CD-ROM up and running!
I'd like to connect the audio out in the back of the NEC 84 to the audio in
on my Sound Blaster Pro. Does anyone know where I might get such a cable
ready made? Or, if not, where I might buy the plugs I need to make one?
I called Creative Labs and they sell a cable for $6.00. It has, however, 4
pin connectors on both ends. I need a 4 pin on the SBP end and a 3 pin on
the NEC end.
I've also got a call into NEC re: this issue but I haven't heard back yet.
Thanks,

You can use a 1/8" stero cable and run it from the headphone jack of the
CD into to Audio in on the back of the sound card…4 bucks from Radio
Shack…

Dennis,
I have about the same setup as you, and ran into the same situation. I did
get the SBPro adapter cable, but discovered through a number of phone
calls, one to NEC, that no one makes the appropriate connector for NEC
drives!
So I ended up manually soldering some wires to the connector pins and plug
these into the unattached end of the SBPro adapter cable. Works fine and
avoids having to run a cable outside of the PC box.
