Can I leave my rainbow cable on my dkjr if I'm using the edge connector?
Any harm done if I leave the rainbow connector on?

Go.t it. I thought you only needed it if you plugged in each cable directly to the board when. using the edge connector. I guess it needs to be on regardless if using the edge connector or each individual plug into the board.
No, you ONLY need the rainbow cable that interconnects the two boards IF you are using an edge connector. If you're using the original harness there is no need for the rainbow cable. The multi-connector harness has power cables that run to both boards so the rainbow cable is not needed in that situation.

The interesting thing is that the DK3 PCBs have solder holes and markings screened on them for the headers for the multiple connector style harness but they are not populated. So, I suppose if someone wanted to (don't know why) and had the correct headers, they could populate those locations and use that style of harness but the edge connector would be a hell of a lot easier.
