This afternoon I dug through my vast-heap-o-cables looking for POE injectors, and realized that there were WAY TOO MANY parallel IDE cables in that heap. None of my deployed machines or drives are IDE/PATA. I have some archived PATA drives, but I do not need more than one cable + spare and an IDE to PCI card to access those drives ... someday, if ever.
Anyway, those excess cables might be useful for your hobby project that needs 40 slow interconnects; if so, they are yours. Let me know soon. Otherwise, copper recycling. Friends don't let friends drive PATA. Keith L. P.S. After all my digging and cleanup, I learned that two of my POE injectors are attached to a plywood board with two ancient Linksys WRT54GS access points on it. That was mounted in the attic of the house we moved from, 14 years ago. Those access points are NOT "free to a GOOD home", but I'll give them to you if I decide I DON'T like you. :-/ -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
