Necro:

OK, I have a few older crappy IDE cables I may be able to use also.  Worse comes to worse I can go hit a resale store for the University I'm working at and grab some there for really...REALLY...cheap.

That will work fine.  Most of the beta tests were used with a harness made from the wire used on the serial port cable.  Be aware, though that the serial cable will likely have 9 wires instead of 10.

BTW, any connector that is a double row .100 spacing will work (just like an IDE connector, but shorter)

I didn't use those serial cables.  I opened up an old pentium I was using for a footrest and ripped the wiring that ran from the power button, reset button, turbo button (weren't those funny?), leds and speaker out.  The headers on those cables were perfect, and already had real wire attached to them.  CDROM audio cables also have the right size headers, but often don't have all 4 holes populated.

Never really understood those turbo buttons!  I used to just click them for the hell of it, didnt think they actually did anything.  Selling feature gone wrong?
