Step 606_wire_even_pins.jpg
Here is a closeup of a piece ribbon cable I "peeled off" from a scrapped 25-pin serial cable. You can use part of the floppy cable if you wish.
You can see that I have carefully removed the back of the connector (by lifting the spring-loaded side clips with a small screwdriver), and pulled off the old ribbon cable.
If you accidentally bend any of the connector pins, straighten them with a small needle-nose pliers before continuing.
Spread the wires back enough to fit the connector, then push them down between the odd-numbered pins, and push them into the even numbered pins (as shown in the photo) using a small screwdriver. When inserting the wires, note that the pins on the small side of the plastic connector edge guide separator are not used in this application. You do not need to push the wires all the way in, because that will be done when the connector back is squeezed on later.
