Aw geez, do I gotta? My cable looks so nice the way it is :)

I don't know if this would make any difference, but I'm using a 10
conductor cable, but only using 5 conductors, alternating used and
unused. What would happen if I crimped another IDC connector closer to
the programmer end, but left the rest of the cable after the new
connector? Would that even make a difference? I'm kicking myself because
I'm actually out of town doing this, and while I brought a spare IDC
connector, I didn't bring a spare 5 pin connector for the WARP13.

Ah well, I guess I will have to try your solution tomorrow...I'm tired
now.

Thanks!
