This reminds me - is it possible to obtain what would esssentially be
an *extension* IDE cable (ie one with a 'socket' on one end rather
than the usual plug)?


I've not seen one of these but you can probably get the male 40 way IDC
connector from somewhere like Maplin. You could at this to an existing
cable. I'd worry about cable length but it is worth a try.
