IDE gender changer

[Jope]

I guess you need to build this one yourself.

The trouble with gender changers is, that you can't just solder two connectors together - you need to cross the wires, so that the pinout stays the same (otherwise you'll get a mirror image)..

Why do you need this? Are you planning to build an IDE cable extension? I'd suggest you just create a custom IDE cable to your needs instead of doing lots of connections.. You'll thank yourself once you realise that you haven't had any data corruption. :-)

Please remember, that a cable over 50cm is too long in IDE world.

I doubt anything will blow, but it just plain won't work - the  SCSIDE bridge's firmware shouldn't be aware of slave disks at all.

You can of course ask their support about it, but I doubt it.
