@fribbledom I don't keep them in my go bag any more, but defo keep several at home. I used one last month.

@fribbledom if it helps, most ide cables had one blocked pin, making them unsuitable for this application

You can see the blocked pin in the upper cable in the picture. Since he's using only one row of the cable (and two in total) that works just fine.

@claudius @fribbledom ohh right. I was thinking of raspberry pi connector.

Picture description for those with visual problems: An Arduino Nano variant is plugged into a double IDE cable by it's breakout headers on each side, which just happen to have the correct number of pins. the other side of the double cable ends are plugged into two wires for the power and ground pins.
