External IDE ports?
« on: September 24, 2003, 03:04:20 AM »
Is it feasible to build external IDE ports?

What I would like to do is run a couple of IDE cables from my 4xEIDE interface to the side of the case and attach new pins on the end.  I'd then like to do the same to my CD and Zip drives (housed together in a custom case), and then use  external cables in between.

Is this remotely possible or does IDE not like having very long cables?
