Does anyone know if there is a cable available to connect the Amiga A1200 IDE header (44-pin, 2.5") to a standard PC type IDE drive (40-pin, 3.5")? (Preferably from a UK supplier.) Also, is the power taken from the extra 4 pins, or from the floppy disk drive? If a cable is not available off the shelf, does anyone know the best way of making one? Since I had a couple of IDE drives already, I thought i'd save some money by using them, but now I can't get the thing connected. |-<
