I am looking for a cable that has a standard laptop cd-rom drive connector on both sides. I believe the I need it to be female on both ends. The connector on the cable should be the same as the connector on laptop cd-rom drives like in this picture: http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/directron/sn324back.jpg If a cable is not available any solutons are welcome.(Except for buying two drives and pulling the connectors off which I have already tried but I broke two already) Here is what I am trying to do If anyone cares: I am trying to put a laptop hard drive in the modular bay of my laptop. I planned on buying two cheap laptop cd-rom drives and pull the connetors off. I bought a laptop to standard IDE adapter and a Laptop cd-rom drive to IDE adapter. I will connect the Hard drive to the adapter and connect that adapter to the other adapter with a ribbon cable and connect the power somehow. I will then connect that adapter to the proprietary connector with this cable that I am trying to find. I will include a nice tip for a quick and good answer. |

You don't seem to be the only one. from http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=132732 If you have http://www.baber.com/baber/products/slimline_cd_adapter.htm, for instance... a KX14-50 connector connects to a CD-ROM bay, which has a KX15-50 plug. The laptop cdrom/IDE adapter above is apparently a KX14-50, as is the internal media connector. This means you need the KX15-50 PLUG(x2) and a 50 pin cable... http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstdispproductid=502889 It'll need to match the 2 or 3 mm of the receptacle. These are intended to be surface mount, so that is why there aren't cables for this product. If I could do it, I'd try my best to unseat the Receptacle connector of the Slimline CD to Desktop IDE Adapter and put a PLUG connector in its place, or make a comparable unit. Then, I'd connect the PLUG to the media bay in the laptop and use a standard IDE cable to wherever I needed. Maybe someone else has a better plan. I am not a Google Answers Researcher. |

Exactly what I wanted, crythias, Thank You! I should have asked on here before I bought two laptop cd-rom drives to get these parts. |
