As another said this will probably be a standard ribbon cable for you.
half the conductors are simply drain/grounds/shields in between the

and hard drives in you computer.

So how long do you need the cables?

You just gave me a great idea. I'll get four short ribbon cables and
make a holding bracket on the side of the computer. The I/O card plugs
the cables directly and they are a PITA to disconnect. This will get
it outside the case.

!!!! But, now I'll have to look for a male connector, surely no big deal. !!!!

Don't count on that, but good luck!
From what I remember there are male to male adapters that fit between
female ends of ribbon cable connectors - ore used to be.

But CalesOnLine has Item # FC-150 for $250 each.
Computercableinc has them for $7.50 each. Part # CON-IDC-50M

yea, that should work. i found a couple at digikey too.

Thanks
