Why do I want to buy one? Becuase I am too lazy to make one and it is easier to ask if someone has one. Also....I want to try and use an IDE drive as opposed to a using a SCA drive and caddie for an IBM xSeries 330. Unless of course people have some laying around...........

I might be putting too fine a point on it but all the wiring to floppy connections I've seen are wired with 22AWG and the Molex 4 pins are 18AWG.
Seems silly to go from 22AWG to 18AWG with an adapter.
Post it if you find one ;)

Well the resoning is the xSeries I has only 1 floppy power connector...no molex. So to use a IDE drive I either a)have to splice into the wire....or b) use said adapter. I am being lazy and hoping someone has said adapter before I go splicing into my pretty new toy.

Except that one from logicsupply only has the 5V section wired. For an IDE drive (unless it's a notebook drive) you'll need both the 5V and 12V sections wired...

Well since the molex idea hasn't panned out real well and I should have some SCA drives on the way.
Anyone have or know where I can score some IBM Netfinity/xSeries Hot Swap Hard Drive Trays the part number is 00N7281. I found some on ebay...but it is not my favorite place to shop.
