TWGS Frustration

[Bill Shuff <bill2060@pop3.concentric.net>]

Often TWGS or ZIP GS cards have problems due to a faulty 
cable.  Symptoms include heat sensitivity, odd characters 
on the screen, and crashes.  The most usual problem is a 
break in the cable at the connection point of the 
connector.  Because these breaks make for intermittant 
connections, often touching or moving the card or cable 
will "fix" the problem for a few hours or even days. 

I have been making replacement cables with gold finished 
connectors that have wider and slightly longer pins than 
the standard cable.  The sturdier pins and the use of GOLD 
makes for a much more reliable connection.  

If anyone is interested in obtaining a cable please send
