If you get one of the cheaper cables that has been recommended for use with TOAF, the two pins, only need a 'dollop' of solder onto them. (I am useless at soldering, and was trying to solder a little wire to the pins. Used too much solder and it fell neatly and very nicely between the pins lol - it has worked on the four or five times I have used it). It really is easy to do.
Looking at the pins, if you didnt want to solder, I think the jumpers that used to be used on old hard drives would work just as well (or even a spade crimp terminal)  |
Thanks for the jumpers idea. I don't know however why you think the pins are round, they look flattened to me. I was just looking for a solution that didn't need me to buy a soldering iron, so perhaps the jumpers will do the trick.
