| 169818 | 2003-08-24 08:51:00 | heck!! they don't look very long! How would I get that from the connector from motherboard way up the tower to the cdrom drive? its like 40cm too short! | PoWa (203) | ||
| 169819 | 2003-08-24 09:37:00 | They look as though they are folded. they come in different lenghts like 250mm and 400mm. It's easy enough to slit flat floppy cables and bind them into round form. The data frequency is low enough for proximity of the wires to cause no problems. I dont understand why 5 1/2" floppy connectors are still fitted to floppy cables though. You can just cut off the end one if there is one there. |
