    What the heck is this

    Sadly that would be far too easy. That is what I have (the top connector you see in pic 1) it's a standard ATAPI->IDE adapter. As you can see, those two adapters in the picture dont go together, I need to figuire out how to make that happen. Thanks for the link tho...the search continues Twill
