Re: [Staffslug] PATA Hardware Supplies

Hi Frank, I don't live nr. Crew, but nr. Cheadle Staffs. That's not a problem, though I can stick a couple of 80 core PATA cables in the post to you if you ever need any in the future. Use my email address: walt(a)helvatron.co.uk if you prefer to make direct contact. I used to fix and build these things by the hundreds so I still have some old stock but I am gradually getting shot of it all now. Best regards, Walt PS: Ebay is always a good place to go for low-cost pc bits. -----Original Message----- From: staffslug-bounces(a)staffslug.org.uk [mailto:staffslug-bounces@staffslug.org.uk] On Behalf Of Frank Mitchell Sent: 14 October 2010 19:20 To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk Subject: [Staffslug] PATA Hardware Supplies Hi Walt: Thanks for the offer. Do you live anywhere near Crewe? Though I probably don't need another cable. I have a UDMA-66 DVD Drive on an 80-Core PATA Cable and a UDMA-33 DVD Drive on a 40-Core PATA Cable. They have separate IDE Channels because my Hard Drive is SATA, and they seem to configure correctly. I was just giving an example of something I'd been looking for a while back. And "Computer Technology" seem to have some on their Website now anyway. I'm into checking out local suppliers who stock all the bits for building my own machine. And if I never get round to that ambition, the same people could also sell upgradeable machines of their own.
