Nice!

ordering custom PCBs and soldering up 2 34pin headers is easier than clamping some IDC connectors in a vise? really? 🤣 who doesn't own a vise anyway?

but I do like your design with the 3dfx silk

everyone with no workshop @ home ?
but soldering iron is always around 😉 and pcb design took 10 minutes.

take my money. where can i buy?

Cool.

Does orientation actually matter? Isn't it just a straight through connection?

No.
There are 4 twisted links but they are centered (pins 16-19).

A legit version, also extra width version to span across one PCI Slot.

And of course.. my favorit

cool, message me how to get one.

That is seriously awesome! Beautiful work.

Cool! Ich werde vielleicht eins bestellen. 😀 Grüße aus BW

Cool! I may order one. 😀 Greetings from BW

This is brilliant. I wouldn't mind one of each size. It was actually more time consuming to make my own cable than I thought it would be. It is also pretty easy for one of the wires in the cable assembly not to crimp properly. It took me a few tries to get a stubborn wire to properly seat, which resulted in a video column not displaying properly.

Yes i had same issue with floppy cable, it was not reliable for me.

In few days/weeks i get some PCBs.
Lets see how they look.
Was not so happy with the 3Dfx Printing of Aisler, it did not have full density and white color was partly uneven thick.

Ok ordering will properly take longer, chinese New Year kicks in 😳 they will not process it until 20 Feb.

nice, I've had this idea before, but extending the PCB all the way for the whole length of the card, basically creating a "fan shroud" with the SLI connector ^^

What about something like this?

What you have looks better btw.
But if you found a 34 pin version of this you could probably order or make it easier.

Would look cool in rainbow ribbon

But it does not have a Nice Printing on it!

You already know that this has too many pins but it also has the wrong gender (male) since it seems to be designed to join two regular IDE cables (with female connectors) into one. It also doesn't have the twist in the middle.
I don't think the same wiring used in SLI was used for anything else so I don't think you can find cables made for any other purpose that'll just work as SLI cables without modifications. 🙁
They're relatively easy to make from a floppy cable though and I'm totally in favour of you making a rainbow cable and posting the results here.😁👌

ah so it's possible to make something similar. nice :p custom wiring needed though.

speaking of rainbow I now want some rainbow ide cables 🤣

I built a gaming system for a friend back in my Jr. Year of high school probably 04ish and it had rounded ide cables that were very rainbow like every single wire was a different color in a clear sleeve.
