I manufacture proprietary EIDE Bus 0 cables for the Beige DT and MT. These cables support two drives, and are different for each machine. Yes, the cables are longer than 18" or 26" ... they have to be to support two drives on the hard drive EIDE bus of either machine ... however, the length is "tuned" to eliminate excess length effects so often seen with other cables. Any drive type may be attached, and it will operate at the maximum rate supported by the host, 16.67 MB/sec. The cable itself is tested at 33 MB/sec. These cables are new finished goods from an eBay store I operated a year or so ago. Likely, I will not be making additional cables ... the market for Beige upgrades has pretty much dried up. However, I could satisfy a large order, should one materialize. Cables are $19.95 each, plus $5.00 shipping for one cable, $1 additional shipping for each additional cable.
