Well, it's not that easy. The Data Cable you need for updating the EVO
contains some electronics between the cable ends so you need more info than
just the pinouts to build a cable.
For my money, I just bought the cable for $30 happy in the knowledge
that it's just a one time expense for as long as I own the EVO.
You CAN make your own cable, but you'll have to do some searching on the
Net to find the site where the schematics for the pinouts and the
electronics are illustrated. I came across it once but decided to just buy
the cable instead so I didn't save the website. Sorry.
You really want to wade through the (very long) Multiplex Evo thread at
www.rcgroups.com in the Radio forum. I think it's over a 1000 messages by
now, but just about anything you ever wanted to know about the EVO can be
found in that thread.

I agree - did the same thing! But I couldn't find a link to the thread to
someone who had the v1.26b for the 9 channel...anyone got this file they could
e-mail me I would appreciate it!

Here's a link for the Evo9 ver1.26b. This guy doesn't say it up front, but
you can see that it's the file for the 9 channel Evo by the actual name of
the file when you download it.

Thank you Sir!
The other info from the rcgroups and this file should get me where I need to
be!
Appreciate the help.
