What Jeff said also reminded me of when I made a cable harnesses and used 20AWG instead of 22AWG. It makes a big difference when you have a bunch of wires together. Having 100+ would be a pain to route through the chassis. Maybe a flexible circuit or ribbon cables to connect from the socketed adapter to the DayStar accelerator would be easier to manage. -TT -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
