WP34s Programming Cable

[Bit]

I've made a programming cable using Dave's plug and some 'U Mold Plastic' from RadioShack. You heat it up, mold it, and then as it cools down, it solidifies. It took a few tries to get it right and I'll probably get the grand prize for ugliest programming cable ever, but I'm quite happy with the result: It's very small and light and protects the pogo pins quite well, so it's well suited to being carried in a pocket. The plug is easy to connect, fits in the calculator snugly and the plastic cannot scratch the device. There are two small tactile buttons sunk in for the erase and reset functions.

If someone would like to create a similar cable, be sure to test all electrical functions first becaue you won't be able to remove the plastic once it has flowed around the parts. I suggest you disassemble the calculator before fitting the soft plug for the first time. It'll be much easier to remove the newly shaped plug that way and you'll need to adjust how much the plastic protrudes into the gaps on the sides.
