Greetings!

What do people here think of the feasibility of modifying or selling a drive cable with a parallel -> serial ATA adapter in line?

I have seen variations of them for sale for desktop drives, bit I am wondering if something like that could be small enough (with a right angle bend) to fit between the main board and the drive tray, yet secure enough to allow use of S-ATA drives in the empeg.

I ask because all of the next generation drives (with the exception of a limited amount of 160GB models) all seem to be S-ATA only. Not that I see lots of people upgrading to 160GB drives yet, but because even larger drives are around the corner. I can easily imagine dual 200GB drives, or perhaps even just a single 200GB drive, with an IDE -> flash card adapter for a boot drive and utilities.

Discuss.
