Thanks, Kim. That's what I thought you had. Unfortunately, they have
discontinued it, so I cut the connector off a factory cable & soldered an 8-pin

I do appreciate your help & quick answer.

The break-out box I use is an LDG RCA-14 and it works well. Makes
using the DIN plug on the back of the O II much more convenient.
