So I found a Philips CDD 462 external CD-Rom drive with no data cable, and I'm a bit confused.
I'd like to acquire the cable necessary to connect it to my 486, while I'm also missing the drivers. I assume that the interface controller card that came with it can easily be bypassed by connecting to my IDE controller card or directly my sound card's gameport.
Searching for the correct cable to buy I'm confused with the DA-15 vs. DB-15 difference. According to the manual, the device uses"15 Subminiature D - RS422" interface. As I've only found DB-15 cables for sale, is this it?:
