Re: IDE not SCSI but the hack worked

Man, that summons up flashbacks from the darkest dungeons of my memory. Burning black plastic of female IDE connector didn’t smell good. I can still bring back its sharp and toxic malodour. The fumes made your eyes to water, too.

Unless my memory fails me badly, some cables had on pin 19 a miniature plug which could be fished out.
