Use a piece of string to layout and measure the length you need and then search for something that fits, I use round IDE cables similar to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Mad-Dog-24-Blue-Dual-Device-ATA-133-IDE-Cable_W0QQitemZ140349152817QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item20ad761e31 Somewhere in the back of a closet I have a crimper tool, spools of IDE and SCSI ribbon cables, connectors etc. for making custom length cables, they are very easy to make. Maybe you can find an IT person who still has one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/IDC-IDS-Ribbon-Cable-Crimper-Crimping-Crimp-Tool_W0QQitemZ200442851612QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Computers_Networking_Accessories?hash=item2eab53311c or a welder who has a pair of these, which work just as well: http://cgi.ebay.com/2PC-10-WELDING-FLAT-JAW-CLAMP-LOCKING-PLIERS-GRIP-VICE_W0QQitemZ350323967584QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Hand_Tools?hash=item5190ef8660 -- 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.
