RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile http://www.badflash.com/iopenerframe.html will accept credit cards, I don't know about paypal. I made my own cables. I used a vise to compress the IDE connectors onto the ribbon cable. Jaw rough surface was covered with wood tonge depressors to protect the IDE connectors from damage. Another tonge depressor was used with double back sticky tape to hold the split flipped wire arraignment in place until connector was crimped in place. A local cable & wire company gave me bout 36" of 2mm pitch ribbon cable. The dude said it was not worth writing up a sales ticket for such a short length. I already had the IDE connectors. (Walk in cust, Thanks Advanced cable in Bellevue!) If you try and make you own, allow for trial and error learning curve...order extra connectors! 12-27-2001 23:39:49

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) thinker Profile Badflash doesn't allow PayPal. Also, I went to check out Fry's here in Norcal... They don't seem to sell 44pin connectors OR the 44pin flat ribbon cable. :( Any other recommendations for the norcal area? Thanks. 12-28-2001 01:39:24

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) Wild_Pencil Profile | Email In NorCal, you can walk into Jameco and get the 44-pin connectors there. Unfortunately, they don't sell the ribbon cable that matches. 12-28-2001 15:55:14

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) thinker Profile Actually, badflash's faq says they only accept creditcard. Wild_Pencil: Hrm. Such a shame. I live in the San Jose/Silicon Valley, and I can't even find a shop that sells these things! =( 12-28-2001 22:37:37

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) DMasier Profile I got the connectors and the cable at R&D Electronics on Montague Expressway (near Capitol Ave) in San Jose. At the time the cable was not in the official inventory but I found a spool on the very top shelf in that area. Could still be that way so ask or look. Here ya go... http://www.randdelectronicparts.com R & D Electronic Parts 370 Montague Expy Milpitas, CA 95035 (408) 262-7144 Good luck. 12-29-2001 03:32:23

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile Badflash is an excellent resource and it seems reasonable to send him custom, especially if you're also getting a new BIOS or other mod kit at the same time. But it's also worth mentioning that you can search in Yahoo shopping using the word "I-Opener." The cables are available from cablesonline.com and (like badflash) you will need a credit card to purchase. These cables differ from Badflash's in that they are constructed with just 2 crimp-on connectors and actually have the wire pairs twisted at one end. Which approach is better is up to you to decide. http://search.shopping.yahoo.com/search?P=all&p=i-opener&did=57 Happy New Year 12-31-2001 12:46:25

RE:make your own (modified 0 times) drdoc Profile | Email You know you can easily take apart a regular ide cable and reclamp the connector. If you inspect the end of the connector you will see there is a simple lock-clip mechanism. Just stick a pin in to release the clip and you can take the connector off. The split the wire into pairs. half-twist the pairs. and put back together. You'll need a vice. And a piece of tape to hold the pairs in place. 01-04-2002 02:07:21

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) thinker Profile I wouldn't know where to obtain a 44 pin cable anyway. The only cables I have are the stock 40 pin IDE cables. Most 44-to-40 pin adapters have the ground pins tied together, so they typically won't work with converting prior to reversing... 01-05-2002 02:42:55

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) thinker Profile In other news, would anyone be willing to sell me their used I-Opener cable they no longer use? 01-06-2002 11:49:28

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Geez, Just send Badflash a US POSTAL moneyorder and be done with this! If you had done this a week ago I'm sure you would of had you cable by now. http://www.badflash.com/address.html 01-06-2002 13:51:36

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) thinker Profile They explicitly state on their website that they only take Credit Cards. 01-06-2002 17:13:53

RE:IO IDE Cable for sale with PayPal? (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Did you e-mail him and ASK if in your SPECIAL situation if he would accept another guaranteed form of payment such as a Postal moneyorder or a well known bank cashiers check? 01-06-2002 21:05:42
