Ha! Sorry, I didn’t mean to be intentionally vague. I didn’t think people would actually care about doing this today. Here’s complete steps for you to do it yourself. I posted from memory from doing this myself 25 years ago or so. I had to go look up the actual schematic and found someone else did a slightly more modern take on the software side too. The cable is still the same basic design premise to offer a line voltage to the modems I used way back when.
I was using a higher value capacitor (because I was poor and using scrap parts) which also forced me to put a 100 Ohm resistor in series on the output to get good consistent connections. If you can get exact values, use the ones pictured in that parts list instead of my hack job.
If you like this era of gaming you might enjoy !retrogaming@lemmy.world
Hah, sorry, I was just kidding, but I do love to see people on this platform doing the legwork (and I try to do the same myself) – it makes it so markedly different to most places on the web. Respect.
