MadMartigan Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) After hitting so many walls in my recent projects, it’s nice to have at least one idea come to fruition. This has probably been done before, but I’ve never seen it so I thought I’d share my success story. I have achieved complete IDE elimination with this awesome Startech adapter. Downside is the size of the adapter, but I have a few ideas to make it work. The speeds are really good thus far, but I haven’t done much testing outside of menus. Look past the mess of cables lol. https://imgur.com/a/Ima00KO Edited March 17 by MadMartigan 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMartigan Posted March 17 Author Report Share Posted March 17 It has the potential, but is currently not compatible with his kit. I need to do some trimming to the DVD bracket and possibly a little on the hdd housing. Still a work in progress. I'm more than likely going to need an entirely new setup on the disc drive side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 This is what needs to be altered on just the disc tray. I really don’t want to have to modify the part from Nemesis so I’m on the search for something more suitable. Good thing that 3D printing thread got some love this past week.

I truly think that it has plenty of merit. It's a MUCH more elegant solution than cramming a stupid IDE cable around all that stuff. Right on, Marty. Kudos on the 128MB, BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 I’m searching everywhere for a HDD to dvd bracket that fits my needs. I’m fairly new the 3D printing/.stl scene so please send any suggestions. The one that would work perfectly is also using the mounting holes for Nemesis’ LED kit so that’s ruled out.
