Hi Ryan.
I have a tall tower case with six 5.25" drive bays. The
standard off-the-shelf IDE cables tend to have the slave
connector about half way up the cable. So this means I can
only use the master connector on standard cables. If I try
to use the slave connetor, that makes the cable to short to
reach the m/b.
These people here:
http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Custom-ATA-66-100-133-IDE-Cable-Ultra-DMA-EIDE-Two-Devices-.html
can make custom cables for not much more than an
off-the-shelf version. The maximum length is 40", and I can
choose where I want the slave connector to be. Anything from
3" to 13" away from the master connector. Now that's what I
call service!
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
