Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer 44 pin IDE Cable Directiosn for procuring a self-made ribbon cable or location of inexpensive cables

44 pin IDE Cable (modified 0 times) BRiM Profile Do any of you fine folks have directions for crimping our very own 44 pin laptop ide header ribbon cable? Parts list and locatoin of where to buy and/or a rought estitmate of total cost? Also, might you know some place inexpensive where one could pickup 1 or 2 and shipping wouldn't run the total that much higher. I am aware of badflash but his hole-in-the-wall operation is a bit gaugey. 05-31-2002 03:38:24

RE:44 pin IDE Cable (modified 0 times) nullbert Profile I bought some 3 feet of bulk cabe and 8 connectors for about the same price as the 10" pre-made cable. you just need some patience and a small vice to crimp the connectors on. mounting the connectors square in relation to the cable was probably the hardest thing to do. Also, you need to make sure each connector is attached to the cable in the same direction, so pin 1 goes to pin 1 on the other connector, etc. 05-31-2002 14:59:43
