Who knows how to make a Genesis Miracle Piano Cable?

[Goodwill Hunter]

I've searched here, I've searched the internet, I've searched everywhere. And while there is info out there on putting together a Miracle Piano cable for the NES & SNES, the Genesis seems to be unexplored territory. If anyone has any info, diagrams, pinouts, etc. on putting a Genesis Miracle Piano cable together, I would greatly appreciate hearing it.

I'm assuming all one would need is a Genny controller cable, the appropriate 25-pin plug from Radio Shack, and the pinout data. Have the first, can easily get the second, no luck on the third... Then again, if someone happens to have a spare cable lying around, I want to hear from you too!

Thanks in advance,
Rich

I've made the NES cables before and there are only 4 connections. My guess is for Genesis the same 4 lines on the DB25 end are connected and you could just try guesswork to determine where the 4 go on the genesis side. I'm betting if you look for GND, CLK, Latch, and Serial (Data) lines on the genesis controller and mix and match the 4 connections eventually you will get it right
