And just to make it completely clear so you don't need to read tuts:
LPT cable:
100ohm resistors (any wattage will do)
Switching Diode (any of the one's you listed are fine - have a read on SD's if you're worried)
JTAG:
SD's - see above.
I would recommend that you do more reading round - the tuts on this forum answer all of your questions, and if you look in my sig below, there's a troubleshooting guide that gives you all this info.
would not using resistors harm a dump? found my pc doesnt output more than 3v to the lpt. i have the one diode for the LPT port. i am using about 2ft of cat5 but get completely different dumps each time. should i just use an lpt cable? could this be a shileding issue?
its always the same 3 blocks that have problems but different dumps each time.
