wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	While looking for something else, I came across this SATA to 44-pin IDE adapter. Maybe people have already noticed this one; since I converted my empeg to CF, I haven't really been paying much attention to hard drives. But, anyway, it appears to be small enough to fit in the empeg without much problem. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Perhaps mount it backwards and use longer IDE cable, converted from flat to round. Any advantage to going SATA, besides future-proofing? _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set
