I found the perfect connector for my multiplayer function so I can connect two DCp units together, one master and one slave. It has 8 connections. It is the new 1394b connector (Firewire 2.0? Molex Part Number: 452410002) I can Have R, G, B, C Sync, Left & Right Audio, and the two data lines from the controller port number 2. The controllers on both units will run off the battery in the respective unit so I wont need to have power or ground going through the connector. Only problem is that I need to find a supplier who sells them in small quantities. Arrow sells the connectors in multiples of 450.

edit: mouser has them

Actually the proper term is Firewire 800 ;)
