[Coco] 25 foot DW cable

You can get amplified USB cables that are good to 10+ meters. Check out a company called Indy Link if they still exist.

Mine is 10 meters and is full USB 2 speed.

USB cable lengths are worse 3-5 meters depending on spec speed.
Must have been using extenders.

Max. cable length spec for RS-232 is 15 meters.
Beyond that I would go to RS422/RS485, good to 1500 meters.

 I think Gene was running one at about 100 feet or more. I did have a 50 footer going at one time.

Just built a 25 foot drivewire cable and it works perfectly at this length
I am not sure how long you can go with a DW cable but the 25ft works great

I picked up 3 windows 2000 computers from my church. 2 Compaq and 1 IBM. I am going to use them as stand alone servers for my coco3, coco1, and TDP.
