Searched for them today but no joy. I can visualize a cluster of them together but have not found the box or drawer to match the picture in my mind. I probably will come across them again in either 6 months or 2 years.
While searching I found that I will need one if I ever want to use the accessory connector on my FT100D.

>> I think you can hack an S-Video cable to do what you need. I seem to recall that those are Mini DIN8.
