That connector was produced by Cybdyn Systems (the team who made PSIO) for those who aren't aware. The designs and tooling to get the parallel connectors made cost them $30,000 USD, but unfortunately the tooling they owned was stolen in China which is why they are available on sites such as Phenom Mod.szalay_1 wrote: June 20th, 2024, 5:05 amReally thank You the link for PIO connector xDdanhans42 wrote: June 19th, 2024, 7:30 amYou can buy them here

Do you mean physically stolen tooling, and Cybdyn can now no longer produce their own connectors without that tooling?

The physical tooling was stolen by the manufacturer we paid to make our connector. They were making their own behind our back and selling them which is how we found out.nocash wrote: May 18th, 2025, 9:36 am Do you mean physically stolen tooling, and Cybdyn can now no longer produce their own connectors without that tooling?
