mfilos,

Yesterday I tested several possibilities and maybe I found a very good solution without soldering...

With three IDE cables of 40 pins (older ones, 40 cables) male-female, and four ROM risers, it´s possible to construct a extensor for the Fast-ATA MKIII....

I have a little IDE cable M-F 5cm and I test with a multimeter, all pins have connection.

But I have one question. Best for me, is cables 35 cm long to put the Fast-ATA secured in one side of my tower project.

35cm is too long? Maybe less, from 18 to 25cm?

Looking kickstart switchers, many of them have cables of 20cm. So, I know it´s not timming problems, that´s right?
