Guest PostalBoy Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Ok, so the greatest and latest thing from creative, the SoundDrive, or LiveDrive... This nifty device uses an old IDE cable to connect to the sound card. The cable is keyed by two missing pins (the 6th pins in). IDE cables now are usually keyed with a single blocked pin in the center. I have not yet seen a round IDE cable. If someone could confirm for me that the round IDE cables do infact have a keyed (blocked) pin that would be great. I'm really dont want to make a round cable from the ribbon that I have.

VolcomPimp Posted February 5, 2002 Posted February 5, 2002 as far as I know they are exactly the same... I got bored the other night and I made a rounded IDE cable w/ a razor blade... went every 5 wires... didn't take long and it looks like it works perfectly... if you have a spare IDE cable I'd just do it for the #### of it, took me about an hour maybe cause I was eating ice cream and talkin online and stuff at the same time... I think I did a crappy job on the tape cause we didnt have electrical tape, so I used this stuff for pipes... Ima take it out and do a good job so it looks better and might get a little better airflow cause its all bulky and doesnt bend that good...

Guest FreakyDrOverclock Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 why not cut every wire? yeah, lots of work, but i did it (btw: i cut one of the last ones ) and this bends very fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
