...perferably I'd rather just build a medusa cable - then I can also do a tutorial on how to build replacement cables! Grin

If not, I can fork out for one (getting paid tomorrow...) 8)

But I want to give it that "personal" touch...plus I'm sure the pinout exists SOMEWHERE on a forum post either here or at 3DfxZone.it... ???

I thought Gary was hosting them but I couldn't find them, only the pin-out for the Mercury I/O cable he and I worked on. Click on my callsign and shoot me an email @ my hotmail address and I'll send you the pin-outs.

BTW: the previous auction ended at something around 100$

yeaps you've got a point st4r4m4m4, the product maybe cheap, but the weight may cause a negative effect to the total shipping price of the won product, so instead of 100 bucks for it you might pay 150 for the whole thing, because you have the postal services, you got the tax of the postal services and the the tax of the payment method via the payment method you use, heh and the list goes on and on.

I'm afraid that this time it will go for the same prices as the last time, I wonder what happened to those other boxes that was sold on ebay? Just the idea that someone is making key chains out of these chips makes me sick.

FalconFly is hosting the pinouts for the medusa. http://www.falconfly.de/reference.htm It's the last entry in the "Technical Reference / Documentation" section.

Now all you need now is the parts...

I agree, the chips can be used in a good way (as they we're meant to be used). Not for keychains or something similar.

Instead of using new chips it would be better to use chips from broken cards for keychains...

And about the shipping costs, I will think about it.
I hope no one else is bidding on the chips Wink

Thanks for the link @Gamma742 - but in the end I decided to fork out for the "official" medusa cable... Grin

...story goes that I had some cash left in my PayPal account that I forgot about, so I paid for my Obsidian 2 AGP with most of that and only a small amount extra from my bank! 8)

So I decided, why the heck not for the Medusa cable! Roll Eyes

All's well that ends well I guess... Wink
