09.005 I picked up an apple IIe and a duodisk drive at a thrift store. Could someone describe the connecting cable?

         I just checked the pinout on a Duodisk cable.  The numbers for the pins
are inside the plug by the pins, but I'll draw them for you.

DB 19 looking at the end of the cable:

    1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
      o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
     11   12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19

DB 25 looking at the end of the cable:  (x = no pin)

     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10  11  12  13
     x   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   x
       o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   x   o   o   x
      14  15   16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25
