Ambit 200 uses different wiring as shown on any tut i've ever read, i.e SB5100 is shown on most tuts but completely diff to ambit200 (see below)


ambit 200 jtag cable
IDE/C - Parallel
pin 1 = 22,23,24,25
pin 2 = 6
pin 3 = not used
pin 4 = 8
pin 5 = not used
pin 6 = 11
pin 7 = not used
pin 8 = 7
pin 9 = not used
pin 10 = 9

Hope that makes sense

m8 don't even try the triangle of masking tape lmao complete nightmare, burns when u put hot solder near it.

Cut a short length of Ribon cable (strip of an old IDE cable) then solder that to each point. Much much easier.
