1 - 510 or 470 Ohm Rsistor [1/8 or 1/4 Watt] (RS# 271-1317)
1 - 1N4148 Switching Diode (RS# 276-1122)
2 - Feet Small Hookup Wire (RS# 278-501)

Get two 14 pins DIP sockets (designated SKT-1 and SKT-2). SKT-2 is only needed if you plan to download, as well as upload data to the module.On SKT-1, cut pins 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Bend out, pins 1 & 3.On SKT-2, cut pins 2, 3, 5, 6, 12, 13. Bend out, pins 1, 8, 9, 10, 14. Solder pins 9 & 10 together.All chips on the videocipher II board use the following pin out order. Looking at the top of the chip, with the notch pointing away from you, the upper left pin will be pin 1. The order goes counter clockwise, with the upper right pin being the highest number.

On the edge card connector, the outside pin on the top will be pin 1. The outside pin on the bottom, will be 23. When look at this part of the board hold the board so the edge connector is facing up and away from you. Pin 1 is located just above R24 & R51, furthest to the right side of the board. For the bottom side flip the board over, now the backside of the edge connector should be on your left. now the pin furthest to the left is Pin #23 and the furthest to the right is Pin 44.
