Simple Small Project: Ribless programming cable for Motorola GM360 Radios

I needed a simple cable to program two Motorola GM360  radios using a ribless cable. A search on the internet revealed a diagram.  It uses a cable that connects directly to the computer without needing any special box. It is important to note that ribless cables are only suitable for programming CPS  code plugs to the radio and not for flashing the radio with new firmware. For flashing the radio with new firmware, you would need a RIB.
