I went to my local dealer and got a data cable from an AT clone. It's
long enough to work and short enough to reduce chances of nois pickup.
For power I got a "Y" connector and spliced *heavy* wire into one leg.
This allows me to keep my 7300 unmodified, and still have what I need. I
soldered in either #12 or #14 stranded wire. The 7300 power supply is
not too powerful, and I would rather not have voltage drops.
