Good point. The old 40-pin/40-wire IDE cables had #28 AWG stranded wire conductors which were pretty much immune to breaking. The new 40-pin/80-wire UATA cables have #30 AWG solid conductors which are quite prone to fracturing, thereby causing intermittents or opens. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
