Subj: DVI CABLE AWKWARDNESS?
I recently because the proud owner of a used Model 100 and 1-drive DVI. They both work fine. However, the DVI-Model 100 connection is somewhat impractical. The connector at the Model 100 end is a rather delicate 40-pin plug which probably would not bear much plugging and unplugging. If I instead unplug at the DVI end, I wind up carrying around the Model 100 with a long, delicate ribbon cable hanging from it--also not a good solution. Is there a better solution; or some type of cable/connector hack which can make this combination more usable? Or are the PDD1 and PDD2 and Chipmunk drives more practical. I never seen either of these. How do they connect to the Model 100? Any advice would be appreciated. --Mike Volow, Durham, NC
