i'm going to be installing and internal zip in my mpc tonight and i might go pick this up. for $8, it should be easier than cutting and soldering.

so, does this look like it would just plug into the floppy drive power cable and convert it to a regular ide power adapter?

It looks about right.


This is what mine looks like

i think i'll go pick this up tonight and report how it works.

this cable is wrong.



the left or write. a male connector.

The large connector (the one that fits into your disk drive), needs to be female.



Looks like the one on your picture is male.

maybe if you had both of the cables you could use one as a sex changer/turnaround, and the other as an adapter.
