[sdiy] a cable with 50+ pin connectors ?

[Michael Zacherl]

Hi Juergen,

what's your usage profile? Would you pull the plug 
(no pun intended ;-) many times?
Is that for your stationary device(s)?
Why no ribbon cable? Too vulnerable?
How long should this cable be?

Just asking to get the picture (those cables 
mentioned before are not cheap anyway).

    cheerio,
        Michael.
