I think I have some spare "domino" plugs so could make one up if necessary; 
that one's fairly easy, and I finally found my decent soldering iron again..!

Since the plugs can be inserted one of two ways into the Beeb, why on earth 
did acorn not wire them so that doing so would act as a cross-over, rather 
than it just not working at all??


Now if only I could get my RGB -> AKF-12 cable to work .. :-(
