The Design and Implementation of laffer1

So I've had trouble with the G4 PowerMac.  I tracked it down to a bad IDE cable on the DVD-ROM drives.  Every time there was disk access, the system would crash.  I went to 3 stores today looking for a flat IDE ribbon cable.  No one had any.  BestBuy was even out of the round ones which won't work in this case.  The cable has to feed under and around several metal pieces.
