I want to add another hard drive to my machine but this would mean I'd
have to use an IDE Ribbon cable with two intermediate pin connectors.
I can't find one on the Internet (Maplin, Dabs), does anyone know
where I can get one?

I'm assuming this isn't a troll, so ...

You can only have two devices on one IDE port

I assume you have two IDE ports on your MBD, so you can have a maximum
of 4 devices.

If you want more you need a car to give you extra IDE ports, which are
available from most computer suppliers

e.g. RLSupplies (who are who I use)

Doing a minor hijack on this thread - and that has nothing to do with
cars (!) - I've had a continuing computer crash problem that I've
cured by moving my hard drive from IDE 0 to IDE 1, having done things
like change the cable, etc without success. Any idea why this should
clear the problem?
