Re: Replacing crimped mobo ATA cable
I stumbled across a relatively good article on 80 wire / 40 pin cables: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/confCable80-c.html It also referred me to Cable Select: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/conf_CS.htm Since I'm putting a Firmtek SATA PCI card in my Digital Audio, I may just move the DAs mobo 6+" ATA cable to the QS. Although I'd rather find a quality replacement. (The applecomponents.com ones, I just noticed, are "Used") Any suggestions on sources for the shorter 6-7" Ultra DMA 80 wire / 40 pin ATA cables? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Also ... Nothing implied by this, but does size matter? I read somewhere the shorter the better, so the 6-7 inch one with the 1 blue mobo and 2 drive (gray and black) connectors was optimal. Oh ... I now have a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz, a Digital Audio Dual 533 and a Yikes! oc'd to 450. When will I stop. I really like my DA ... kind of a mini-QS ... which I've decided to add SATA to it. Like I said recently, when will I stop. Regarding the ATA mobo cable, I guess I'm looking for the 6-7 inch ones ... like the "applecomponents.com" one ... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

An actual Apple cable, however DOES have the slits for CS (the patent requires it), but if you want to make a two-drive cable which does not have the slits, it is easy enough. The Apple two-drive cable is 6-3/8" over all, with the blue and one end, the black at the other end and the gray 4" from the blue end. The Apple P/N is 590-2253. It is best to use an existing Apple cable as a reference as the black and the gray connectors point away from the blue connector. If you start with a standard PC 18" cable and you carefully remove the black and gray connectors, you may reattach these at their appropriate points. It helps to have a professional flat cable cutter (Ideal, or equal) and a professional flat cable connector installer (3M, or equal). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I use cables without the slit, never had problems. You should be able to find them easily since the are stock pc (not Apple oem) cables: http://cgi.ebay.com/IDE-HARD-DRIVE-ATA133-CABLE-HIGH-DENSITY-6-INCH_W0QQitemZ170338067481QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item27a8f0a419&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 The link is just a reference example, I'm not endorsing the website or the seller. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
