To get part of the cable you would need, you could salvage the hard drive power cable from a IIci, IIcx, IIvi, IIvx, Quadra 700, Quadra 650 or Power Mac 7100. However, you would somehow have to increase the length of the cable by either using an extension cable or by hacking the end off and soldering another longer connector onto it. I actually have something that might work if it is long enough, contact me off the list if you are interested. You could also hack the power connector off of an ATX power supply, shave it to size and solder the hard drive cable to it. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
