Hi Stephen,

I can find those. They are sold on ebay for a wide range of prices. But too
much for my purpose. And from the pictures they don't all look the same...

 SW> Old and fat cable = 50pin. #-) (Watching Chris Edwards video on youtube).

Ok...

 SW>>> Out of the hords of stuff I still have! You never know if/when
 SW>>> someone wants to get somthing off a old drive.

 WV>> Indeed. ;-)

 SW> Yep. That's also why I still have a couple of MB's with IDE on them.. #-)

At work I have saved some older machines, that still have IDE. I used one to
try and read the old Amiga disks...

Bye, Wilfred.
