[W] Quantum3D Obsidian 2 S-12 PCI - SLI Cable
11.11.08 at 22:53:15
 

I'm still looking for the smaller SLI cable that is necessary to put this card in SLI (Are these rare or?)

If anyone has a spare, please PM me, or post in this thread.  Smiley

I wouldn't mind buying the card itself along with it, since I still need the second one.

Many thanks,

Tim

Hmm, looks good, thanks!

I wonder what those connectors are from, aren't the normal Voodoo 2 connectors just floppy drive connectors? These are smaller, if I can find the right connector, it should be too much trouble making them myself, if I can find the correct crimping tool. (No idea about that)

It's just a 40 pin IDE cable.  I could make that in 2 minutes.... (cut cable to length, pop off one end and flip 3 wires...no special tools needed.  I used a pocket knife and scissors.)

/edit: I made one for fun... Smiley

Oh, so it's not a floppy connector, but an ide connector? Are you sure? The connector on the board looks very slim.

I am not sure really as I do not have one of these cards.  All I know is that it appeared to be a 40 pin IDE cable... I may be wrong, I don't know. Smiley

It's about twice as small, and twice as thin. Never seen a connector like it.  Huh

Your right though, if I could find what those connectors are used for, I can make one myself.

Well, it could be a notebook IDE cable , they have 44 pins, extra 4 pins are used for power : http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/disk-pinout.htm .

The problem is that I only saw 2 or 3 times such cables in laptops and I repaired more than 1.000 laptops, so there's a very small chance to find one of these.

It's not 44 pin, it's 40 pin, and this connector is too big, just tried it.

Hm...I wonder if there's a 40pin laptop IDE cable then.
