Can you double-check that measurement, please? Hey, anyone remember how many pins are in a 2.5" SCSI interface? The SCSI FAQ, surprisingly enough, doesn't seem to have this info. the pickle>> ------------------------------ OK the 2.5" SCSI interface has 40 pins on 2mm centers. A 2.5" IDE HDD has 40 pins on 2mm centers. So you can use 2.5" IDE HDD cables. I have. johnsn
