It seems as if every online store that carries rounded cables don't have floppy ones in stock. Does anyone know of a place that has them in stock, or is there some kind of shortage from a distributer somewhere?

If you try Software Direct they have some reasonable priced rounded cables made by Belkin for around $8.50 and are currently in stock with a lifetime warranty. I just receive mine and for the price are hard to beat. Shipping was reasonable also. BTW they also carry rounded ATA33 cables for your zip and cr-rom drives at aroun $7.50 each again made by Belkin but these are harder to get. I have some on backorder for when they finally receive their next shipment.

I checked an these sources were both out but you might watch pccables.com and crazypc.com. These seem to be gaining in popularity so hopefully the price will start to drop.
