Excuse me? Electrons in the states increased in size?
Yes, I think this is related to global warming.
However the electrons in northern Canada have not increased in mass nearly
as much as the ones in southern US.
Not sure about this thinnet wiring......where can I peruse the specs for
it?
I saw a link posted a couple weeks ago.
It's a great source of info on the topic, maybe you missed it.

YMMV. :)

How long do you need your cable???
Standard IEC cable for the Floppy Disk Drives are about 3 feet, for
printers they can be 6 feet but are a little larger in diameter due to

Cat 5 cable I think is alright.
