trHANKS pETER BUT THESE ARE CRIMP CONNECTIONS, AND NOT REALLY SUITABLE
FOR ME, sorry, fingers. The correct crimping tool is expensive, and,
anyway very difficult for me to use, given that the use of my hands is
not great due to problems in my neck. Soldering is difficult, but more
managable. I have used JST before but bought some ready made cables for
them. That isn't an option now as I need to rewire a specific cable.
