Hi Bryan,

I've seen one aftermarket cable that was 12inches (300mm) long, so if well
constructed, that length may be fine. Having said that, I once tried to
build one only half that length and had intermittent trouble...

This guy's site shows what can be done (and still work!)

Subject: Length of ribbon cable on exp port...



All,

	I have finally scored a 128D :D and I am planning to get an IDE64
for it.
I would like to install the IDE64 and a hard drive inside the machine.  

	Does anyone know how long a ribbon cable can be?  Can you use an IDE
type 
cable or is there another one better suited for the job?

Cheers,

Bryan
