Hey ever'body, I can't tell you the exact technologic terminology for these guys, but if you're experienced at hooking up multi-card systems, you'll get it. They are the cables that you use to hook the two PCI cards together in your tower. They are 2x 16 pin ribbon cables and 1x 10 pin ribbon cable. I can't find them anywhere within the time frame that is pushing 10 DAYS OR LESS to finish this project

SO IF YOU FEEL ME AND YOU HAVE SOME OF THESE BABYS HANGIN OUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SELL THEM TO ME!!!!! FAAAAAST!!!!!!

Thank you all very much>cam

Cam, I hope you don't mind me chiming in here, but - folks, this is Cam, the son of Jim Drago who's given you all those wonderful PARIS skins. Hope someone can help out a PARIS brother with a deadline with a set of EDS interconnect cables, folks! Very Happy

These are incredibly easy to make. Don't buy them. All you need to do is get some IDE ribbon cables from an old hard drive. Then, just take a hack saw blade and carefully split them down to the appropriate number of pins. All 3 of my eds cards are connected with home made cables.

Kerry, if this info isn't in the Wiki, it should be. Also, maybe I can do a video tutorial of how to make them and hook them up and post it to Youtube with a Wiki link?

Let me know.

Oh man, would you? That would be a great addition to our collection of hardware maintenance tips (e.g. AA's C16 tutorial). Yes, you're absolutely right, he could make those from parts from Fry's in fifteen minutes if he knows exactly what components to get, they're dead easy to crimp with kitchen tools.

A pleasure, Jim! Here's a crimping guide I found -

Hi Phillip If I do this one end of the connector isn't locked, does that hurt anything. Thanks Jim

Hi-
I don't think so, but I'm not sure what you mean by "locked." Like I said, all of my cables are homemade, and though it has been a while since I looked at them, I don't think any of them "lock" in to anything. Does the "real" EDS cable have some sort of clip that holds it in place? Is that what you asking about?

Like I said- I very simply chopped a few IDE cables in half with a hack saw. They look terrible, but work just fine. No locking.

I'm guessing you mean one side of the connector's end not "clicking" while locking onto the ribbon?

It should go - you might try cautiously and judiciously muscling it just a tiny bit (gently) - you want to make certain that the "prongs" inside the connector end displace the insulation on the ribbon far enough to make a good solid connection with the conductors inside.

As far as installation of the finished cable, they don't lock onto the EDS card, it's just a snug pressure fit. Make *double sure* you don't have the pins offset by one when you install the ten pin cables.

Mind you - by now you've probably already got it installed and running Very Happy

Hey Jim, I just turned the instructions into a PDF (I don't think Mike will mind, he'd be the first person to want you to get these happening). Here they are:

D'oh. the PLUGS. Sorry - yes, there should be a pair of files for each plug; each pair goes in C:/WINDOWS/system32/Ensoniq/plugins
