My lab has a 3/160 and a 3/260 and some image processing hardware which is
the heart of our operation. Unfortunately it makes a lot of noise and
would live very happily in the machine room next door except for the
length of the Sun-supplied keyboard cables. Now I have heard conflicting
things about this: apparently there is someone selling extenders for
approximately $5-600. My question is: has anyone tried just sticking a
longer 15-pin cable between machine and keyboard? Without any fancy
repeaters. Did it work? How long was the cable. I'd like to go 100 feet or
so. Thanks,
