Anyone know which cord/wire is best? I asked around at Best Buy and found an IDE cable but it was huge, and rather expensive(22$). I asked the clerk and they said bare copper wire would work fine, but I want to make sure.
What wires did anyone else use for this situation? Also, if I mess up I can use the desolder braid to remove solder right? Also, I heat up both points, tin the wire, then solder? Or do I tin the wire, and solder while heating up the points at the same time?
I know these seem like "DUh" questions, but I want to make absolutely sure I have this right.
