I'm looking for somewhere in the USA where I can get the IDE cable that I use to connect a second drive to my MK1. Of course I can order it from the U.K. from Videk, but shipping is ridiculously expensive. Is there a place I can find this cable in the USA?

Thanks!

I think the mk1 cable is just a standard ide cable.

Edit: No, I'm very very wrong. Sorry.

Well, standard laptop IDE cable. It is just the pin pitch and the number of pins. It is a standard part, though.

I read this in the drive upgrade...

If you will be adding a second disk drive to the Mark 1, you will need to purchase a proper IDE connector cable. Not just any cable will do, it must be the proper length. There's very little room inside the case, and if you get a cable that's too long, you'll damage the components trying to cram the cable in there. The correct cable can be purchased from Videk, part #3017.

Mmm... Good point. I had forgotten that the Mark1 cases / layout was much tighter than the Mark2. Good catch!!!
