MegaSquirt with old TechEdge DIY
Hi,
I'm about to install my Megasquirt and I need to access a certain Pin on the Serial Cable on my Techedge. This cable operates by Display and therefore I kinda need a Boomslang Harness of some sort for a DB9.
Anyone know where I can buy something which will allow my to tap a certain wire? I really don't want to open the unit and solder to the board.

My local computer stores suck! I do want to keep the display, and have it mounted stealth behind the face plate of the AEM Cassette Deck. (Where the tape should go shows the readout)

Strange.
I was all ready to (mockingly) post a link to the location of the Radio Shack store nearest you, and I find that Radio Shack apparently has no stores in Ontario, or for that matter, all of Canada. They have locations in Haiti, Bahrain, Honduras, Egypt, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and a bunch of other countries I'd never have guessed, but not Canada. Bizarre... Ok, northerners, help me out here. There has to be a Canadian equivalent of Radio Shack!
Sadly, you're not going to have much luck at a computer store these days when it comes to buying discrete DB-9 connectors and cable. 15 years ago, yes. But times they are a changin'.
However, if you can find a standard DB-9 RS-232 cable, you could cut it apart and tap the appropriate wire. I'd hit not only the computer stores, but the general office supply and consumer electronics stores as well. RS-232 is certainly not a popular standard these days, but it does still exist.

And there we have it: http://www.thesource.ca/estore/storelocator.aspx Returned quite a few hits within 20km of Mount Albert.

They are indeed. Here's a complete list of all Fry's stores in the Milky Way galaxy: http://shop2.frys.com/ac/storelocator/index.jsp
17 in CA, 8 in TX, two each in AZ and GA, and one each in NV, IL, IN, WA, and OR. And not a single one in NC...

Also, be aware that Fry's supermarkets, which use almost exactly the same logo, are a separate entity and do not sell electronics.
