RS list 8 pin DIN connectors.

Only a few $ for 5, might be worth a phone call or visit to see if they have
what you want. I've bought some oddball bits and pieces from them before.

That's the problem. There are two kinds of 8 pin DIN connectors. DS has the
wrong sort.

The link is for RS electronics and has nothing to do with DSE/Radio
Shack/Tandy.

Quite right... they do mention they have an 8 pin connector. I'm trying to
find out what sort.
Chances are good it's the wrong type though.

Let us know what you find out, more people are bound to be interested.

Good luck!

Agreed. Quote fromhttp://sta.c64.org/legend.html#din8plug:
---
This is a DIN41524 type ("262-degree") plug where pins 7 and 8 are
"out of circle". On the more common DIN45326 type ("270-degree") plug,
the seven outer pins form a circle, which is mechanically
incompatible.

I hope this helps the original poster with finding the proper plugs.

Hello,
Please see a photo of the 8 pin plug DIN 41524 with 262° like Joe
pointed out well.
