A tip on rounded cables

Rounded cables, wile pretty and less restrictive, are actually a bad thing!

The concept behind 80-conductor flat cables is to insert a ground wire between every data wire. This prevents cross-talk and allows more data to flow for higher speed and accuracy. Rounded cables defeat this by putting all the wires close together again. I'm planning to go back to flat cables ASAP.
