<p>HI Tom</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>These are very much like the cables used in the 808 ribbon cable replacements that i've been making for sometime. The ones i put together though use a header to allow the boards to seperate. I wouldn't want to just use that cable alone though unless my 808
was rarely to be opened. <br>
Don't get me wrong they are well made cables but the pins are flat metal pins and not a tinned group of strands of wires so i dont know how they'd go being pulled back and forth too much.<br>
I hope it's ok to post my cables here......lol i've been here so long i can't remember. anyway i'm not doing the hard sell here.<br>
I did want to post them here ages ago and offer a $5 sdiy discount but wasnt sure if it was cool too, i'll take the chance now though to do it :)<br>

should be cheaper (? he said hopefully).<br>
