Amiga A4000D - Cable managment

[sheepz]

Hi

Now I have my A4000D up and running, I want to improve the cable management as with my A3660 and Zz9000 I am worried about air flow.

As the moment I have alot of ribbon cables stuffed between the cd-rom cage and the daughter board, not helped by having my CF card at the expansion port and wanting to keep my CD-Rom drive.

I have ordered some "round" IDE cables of ebay and a Amiga 4000 IDE Expansion from Amiga68K to help, any other recommendations??

Regards

Barry

Yep I agree it sounds like they should work
And yes the added wires are simply ground

And yet THEY DO NOT WORK.
I have actually tried it (Not just talking about it) and have tried several different round 80 wire cables (That yes work in a PC) and no they do not work on the Amiga.

NO IDEA WHY

When the OP gets his cables in, please reply back with whether they work or not. 
(And if by some chance they do work for you please provide a link so we can buy them!)

Hi

I just bought the cheapest cables on ebay, sadly one is a floppy disc cable (blue), but that was my fault

As per attached, the black one worked, and its branded "NEWlink" but it does have on of the pins blocked off so although it worked form IDE 4 way splinter to CF card, it would not work on my CD rom drive.
