I use a 120 cm long cable now and it works most of the time. Sometimes I get
errors like when starting up the TED editor, it says 'Sorry only MSX-2' or
when I exit a program, it says 'Wrong version of COMMAND2.COM'. But after
rebooting, everything goes fine again.

A cable of <46cm would be too short, because I have my harddisk and CD-rom
in a case with their own power supply. BTW, wouldn't it also be too short in
a big tower PC??? I've been thinking about building my MSX and peripherals
into a big tower case...
