Anyone here have rounded ATA66 cables they made themselves?

[urbantechie]

I hear, sometimes it doesn't work and has problems? Anyone have any or did it go smoothly?

I did all my IDE's, 4 of them, they work fine zip tied at each and and wrapped all the way with electrical tape... UDMA 66 cable was a little harder, made little 5 wire bunches, same thing, no data loss or problems for 6 months now!

I did it 2 times, off course very carefully and it works.

Ok cool. I'm just gonna cut it in 10each and zip tie it.

I gotta agree with ALstonLoong, I folded my ata/66 cable. I did round my ata/33 and floppy cable without a problem, but the ata/66 kinda scared me.

I've done it for mine, all worked but one. That one I accidentally cut through the wiring.

I have rounded ATA-33 cables in several systems. However, after exposing the wires a couple of times on ATA-66 cables I now fold them. I use zip ties to hold the folds in place.

My current cables were cut, but I'll try folding next time. Just to be safe. After all, it can be just as easily undone. 🙂
