Yeah, it also turns out that the guy on the Playsaver page didn't
even use the standard flat floppy connector, but the indented, more
SCSI-like connector, which should have been mentioned (he took a
picture of him cutting the flat one, which misled me), since most
floppy drives (including the one I pulled 2 ribbons out of for parts)
use the 'smaller' flat connector. However, I found that if you are
willing to cut some more plastic, you can even use an old SCSI cable
to create a connector. To be 100% sure, I have to use a voltmeter and
a small 0.5V signal across the pins of a dummy PSX card to make sure
all signals reach the proper wires, and ONLY the proper wires.
Because of the external SCSI cable I used has a closer pin
arangement, I had to cut along the base so I could move the pin
contact of the cable so that it would meet with the proper PSX pin.
Everything fits well and lines up close enough for my use.. I may
post how to build this connector variant (I will build the other
style as well, just for kicks) once the project is finished. I am
currently waiting for my requisition to get through the district and
to get my 8$ worth of parts.

"Science describes how our universe reacts in a mathematical
representation of it, but can be described in regular terms. These
terms seem to infringe on Religion's role of describing the creation,
and once Science finds a clue to the creation, Religion declares
Science a heretic. Religion scolds Science, telling it to stick to
doing what it does best. To this, Science laughs and complies, going
after the creation once again. Wouldn't it be fair to listen to the
fact that these humans could have been a product of the Creator just
as we are, Borak?" - Cyander, Day for the Xenith: Xenith Dawn
