44pin to 40pin IDE cable

I have been racking my brain (and google) for the last few days trying to find a 44pin to 40pin to 40 pin IDE cable. The nano mainboard I have uses a 44pin IDE connection, but I want to hook up my 40 pin IDE HD and 40 pin optical drives. Anyone know where I can get one?
 
I use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter kit to install laptop HDs into a desktop for diagnostic and data recovery. It is a small board adapter that connects to the laptop HD, and has a standard IDE connector and molex power connector to connect to the desktop comnputer. The local ma & pa stores sell them for about $5. Could that be what you're looking for?

Not quite. I have no trouble finding an adapter that goes from a laptop HD to a desktop IDE interface, I just want the opposite of that.

2.5" for the mainboard -> 3.5" for a HD -> 3.5" for a CD.
