Long single device floppy cable?

[2Busy]

Anyone know if there is a 28 or 30 inch long single device floppy cable, preferably round, to be had? This rig I am building in an older IBM server case news a floppy cable at least 28 inches long.

Never seen one myself, but that doesn't mean they don't exist... I would think there wouldn't be many of them though as that has to be way out of spec for the interface.

BTW, the ebay link in your sig is against forum rules and needs to be removed - if you would do it yourself you'd save a mod the time. ;)

Not a problem, can do that easily enough.

Looking but all I'm seeing is 18Inches in rounded cables bud...

Actually this is all I came across when looking for a 76CM floppy cabel:

:D :beer:

You might get lucky... I seriously looked for about 45 minutes and that is ALL I found... US ebay is spammed much of the same repeated garbage (3 rounded cable package - 2 IDE and 1 floppy).

24" Universal Floppy Cable (http://www.alltronics.com/computer_cables__connectors.htm) - Scroll down some at page

29" Round 2 Connector (http://www.csccable.com/product_info.php?products_id=1509)

Some more here (http://www.trianglecables.com/floppycables.html)

May not be exactly what you want but they may work. You can also pull off the connectors you don't want. Just be gentle and the cable integrity should be OK. BTW I used google and searched for a 1 meter floppy cable (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=1+meter+floppy+cable) to get these results.

Hope this helps.

Appreciate the links. When it all said and done, it might be about as easy to go to Radio Shack and buy 3 ft of 34 conductor ribbon cable and make my own. Just get my twist right, and I should be good to go. Use one of my old ones as a model, just extend the length.
