Okay, where in the #$%@ can I get 2.5+ft floppy cables?

I have looked everywhere. I can't find a floppy cable over 2 feet. I can find plenty of IDE cables three and four feet. But no 34 conductor ones. Please help. And if possible, a good place to get round cables longer than 2 feet.

Thanks,

Jared

Two choices. 1) buy the parts at a computer parts store and make your own. 2) Buy the parts at the same store and make an extension cable.
The round cables will be harder. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.

Round your own cables.
