Ugly but it worked

Description: I thought I would share this with you all, its a ribbon cable soldered to the HD conector pins on the  MB of my second system. There is a female connector on the other end, it was used for connecting the HD and CD mounted and powered in a desk top case (see images). I will be removing this and fitting the correct connector, then routing it through a slot in the back of the case so that I can detach the HD & CD and use the Amiga as a "stock" A1200.

WTF. Soldered directly onto the IDE header, whoever did that deserves a lobotomy O_o.

Sometimes ugly is perfectly acceptable and gets the job done.

Ouch that looks rough. I don't think I've done a solder job that bad in a long, long time.

Another way is to use this cheap cable:

with our low-cost IDE buffered interface:
