UPDATE!
Found documentation but decided I should just purchase a kit!
Thanks

===============================================
I just returned from Ratshack where I picked up a 8in1 IR/RF for $24.00!! I'd like to make my own cable but all links I find point to non existant links on the Yahoo forum.
Should I go a Parallel or Serial? I do have both ports avail. I see that the USB is slow due to the chip used.
Thanks All!

Paralell is easiest.
On the 6 pin/wire cable (corresponding to JP1 pins)
On the 25 pin D-sub male LPT connector
Connect pins 1 to 2
3 to one or more of 18-25
4 direct to 11 ,
4 through a signal diode (best to use a schottky type), with the band to 2
5 through 1000 Ohm 1/4W resistor to 4
6 through 1000 Ohm 1/4W resistor to 3
