I picked up a few rounded 36" dual connection rounded IDE cables today at CompUSA for $1 each (clearance)...They shielded with a metal braid.
After a bit of reflection, however, I am hesitant to use them. Isn't 36" WAY out of the IDE spec, on top of rounded cables being (as I recall) also out of spec.
Are these cables actually safe to use? I see similar cables for sale all over the place, so obviously people are using them. But are there horror stories?
