I build (not a typo!<g>) the parallel port cable, and it worked very
well with a D-Sub Connector and hood. The connecter you describe
should work perfectly for the serial cable. For the calculator end,
you could cut a pair of headphones and use adapter, or, more
inexpensively, get a Mouser Electronics catalog (www.mouser.com) and
order part number 172-2003 or 172-2004. They are 6 foot cables, with
bare wire on one end, and a 2.5mm plug on the other. They are shielded
and should look very nice assembled. Please e-mail me if you want any
more info! Good luck with your cable building!
