Re: [TCLUG:14980] IDE ADAPTER

[Michael Vieths <foeclan@winternet.com>]

I picked one up off of Ebay a while back for about $5-10.  Locally, I
haven't seen them outside of the Super Computer Sale.  You'll probably
have to try someplace with a few more nuts-and-bolts than Computer
Renaissance. It's not the sort of thing most end users would look for.

If you find them, try to get the one that actually looks like an IDE cable
that tapers into the smaller adapter; I picked up the one that's just a
circuitboard and power and I've had to solder the power connectors back on
3 times now.
