@Brian:
Where can I find extension cables which are ribbon, and not too long? All I see around are regular round straight-through cables which are usually very long for something like this.
I am doing something similar at this poing with my A4000T motherboard in a PC AT tower case and need to use cable extensions for the I/O ports which unfortunately do not align properly as they do with the original Escom A4000T case. So far, I'm using Sega Genesis joypad extension cables to do the trick, but they are too long and I overall do not like this solution.
