Ed's TWGS cables

[RichardK <atari@NOSPAMbtconnect.com>]

Got my TWGS cable from Ed today - what a difference.

Usually my IIgs needs to be switched on, upon which it hangs, switched 
off, switched on again, and then it'll crash very soon after. If I've 
disturbed the TWGS, I will face several minutes of it failing to boot, 
having to check the cable, reinsert the card, try it in different slots 
- partly why I got rid of my VOC (for peanuts. Damn thing. Cost me $150 
and sold for $50, and I don't even think the buyer left me feedback).

With the new cable, which is an interesting design in the way the cable 
loops back over the strain relief but is very flexible and in my case, 
long enough that the TW could be in Slot 5 if I wanted, from a dead cold 
start, the IIgs booted right up. No messing around, and I'd moved from 
Slot 3 to 4. Normally, that would be disaster, let alone the fact that 
ever since I've had the TWGS the IIgs has never, ever booted right up 
from cold.

An excellent replacement cable. Seems to have cured my IIgs nicely!
