image old hand Registered: 28/04/2002 Posts: 770 Loc: Los Angeles, CA	anyone know of any place that sells male-to-female 40/80pin ide converters? i need it for a project. quick google search doesnt yield any results. thinking that i might have to crimp them myself, or call the company that custom makes the ide cables for empeg.

I've heard of a couple people running them as far as 15ft., but you'll have widely varying success depending on the board and/or drive that you use. I'm sure Mark Lord could tell you more... _________________________ ~ John

What exactly are you trying to do? Trying to McGuyver something together with the old 40 pin ATA connector and ATA66/100/133 devices could be troublesome.
