CT6042 or SE100 Cable Diagram Pinout

Since working out the details below another reader of this page (Ed Nagy)
discovered that Creative still sells the cable as a replacement part. I
just ordered one to have as a spare. Here is the info. Far easier than 
soldering for $14.99US!!!

A while back Roger Dilling set up a group purchase for SE100 cards and
I bought 3 of them to make sure we had VJ systems that worked. I bought
them without cables in order to save money so I had to make my own
cables for these cards.  I was able to borrow a real cable (well, I was
actually repairing it) and made a pinout diagram for the SE100 (CT6042)
so I could make my own.  Not for the faint of heart or those that don't
have excellent soldering skills.  Lots of fine wires crammed into a
small space. Lottsa fun. But they worked...

It isn't easy to make your own cable since there are a lot of wires
crammed into a small space in this thing, especially since some of them
are co-acial cables for the video signals to avoid noise and other
signals.

I went to my local surplus store and got a male to male VGA cable as a
starting point. This gives you two VGA style 15 pin 3 row male DB15sub
connectors. As you can see the major cables, i.e. the co-axial cables
for red green and blue match pin for pin on the two ends so you can
keep them intact and do some splicing inthe middle if you want, or you
can do as I did and use half the cable and a new DB15sub male connector
at the SE100 end and do lots of tough soldering. There is probably a
better way to do it given that half the wires are ground etc... For the
RCA input jacks I took a nice RCA style Y adapter cable that has two
female RCA connectors and one RCA male connector and cut off the two
femail RCA connectors right at the male RCA connector and used the two
females for the video 0 and video 1 inputs. I made mine as short as
possible so that there was little signal loss or interference and so
that this blob doesn't drag on the ground when it is left attached to
the back of the PC.

Anyways here is a wiring diagram that I am sure will be useful to
someone else along the way.
