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.
