bulkchart32 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 UPDATE: i got the stuff in the mail yesterday. the ide cables are the exact length of the oem cable and look great. they would especially look good in a clear or translucent case. i haven't tried them yet(i intend to soon) so i don't know about their performance. the new feet are made of a flexible plastic so they won't have the anti-slip properties of the rubber feet. they also have no adhesive on them so u will have to supply your own. the controller to usb adapter is a VERY snug fit in the controller. it works but it will be very hard to remove. i tried removing it with needle nose pliers but stopped trying because i was afraid i would damage something. i'll try to give an update on the ide cables when i install one. they appear to be the perfect replacement. if u have any questions then please feel free to ask.

SS_Dave Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Here is how my eBay 80way IDE cables look and notice the 4 pin power connector now has the wires exiting downward from the chinse Sata2Ide with a 3D printed insulator. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE 2: i just installed the new ide cable and it works perfectly. highly recommended. it is identical in length to the oem cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
