Ok, here is an update for anyone else that needs to make their own harness.

Thanks to Foster he told me what the Cham2+ end of the harness is,

The Cham II+ end is a 2x7 0.100" inch connector, also a header connector.
Your PC uses the same connectors the spacing and connector size is the same:
PATA, Floppy, USB headers are all 0.100


The Bally end is Molex part # 03-09-2040

You will need .093" Molex male pins for the Bally end & I would use solid wire rather than stranded wire to make your harness.

For Harnesses it is best to use stranded wire.
Solid wire can only handle some bending or flexing until it breaks.
I never had a problem using stranded wire for any harness I have made.
The wire stays crimped in the connector even though I cant crimp them the way the proper crimp die would.

Thanks Foster,

I have not made my harness yet & I will take your word over guy at frys who said they did not have the Molex conector, (which they did after I found it)
