Of course, the shorter the cable the better. But I have used cables up to about 35 or so without any trouble. In fact, I am using a 6 foot cable off of a Supra interface right now, keep in mind this is off of an Amiga. However, I see no reason why the same would not work on the Supra interface for the Atari. - Doug - Doug_B_Erdely@Portal.Cup.Com
