I understand that the internal A1200 IDE can support two devices without additional hardware. I therfore looked for a cable which would allow this and came across:

My A1200 is in a DIY tower. I know that with the internal header, a shorter cable is better. I currently use an HD off the internal header and the CD off an Alfa Data A1200 (PCMCIA) adapter, but want to free that up for a 3-COM network card which I have tested and confirmed works in my Amiga.
Thank you.
