IDE Rounded Cables

[urbantechie]

Is it hard to round a ATA66 cable? I already did my cd-roms, should I go for my ATA66 too?

I've rounded ATA-33 and FDD cables with no problems. ATA-66 cables are another animal altogether. It's just way too easy to expose a wire. I fold ATA-66 cables 4 times, so they're almost the same width as rounded ATA-33 cables. Then I hold the folds in place with a series of nylon cable ties.

Yes, it's easy, just take your time and cut a little slit about 1/2" then peel it apart.

I tried on one ata66 cable, never tried it again.
That cable is mine no more!

Yeah, it takes awhile, but if you're careful ... 66's can be rounded too.
