(This is a bit off the track but...)  First of all, I did not have to ground
all the pins because I made a calc-calc link extender, not a PC-calc.
Second, I probably did something not right, but I made it quick and easy. I
took a 2.5mm socket and a 2,5mm plug and connected apropriate "circles" on the
contacts (Checked for a connection with a light bulb and a battery) together. I
used plain  [Searching in my dictionary] copper wire, not anything expensive,
just what I found lying around here, and again I have not much education in
electronics. (Battery-to-lamp-back to-battery = Light           whoa)
