WE REGRET THAT DUE TO A "LONG ONGOING DISPUTE" (we do not like being screwed on pricing) WITH OUR SUPPLIER,
WE ARE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY 44 WAY CABLES NOR SUPPLY ANY 44 WAY FEMALE CONNECTORS, BASED ON MINI 44 WIRE CABLE
AND Mini 44 WAY CONNECTORS. WE BELIEVE (AND INDEED HOPE) THIS DISPUTE CAN BE RESOLVED IN A POSITIVE WAY SOON,
SO WE CAN "ALL" MOVE FORWARD AND CONTINUE TO SUPPLY OUR WORLD FAMOUS AND VERY INNOVATIVE CABLE SOLUTIONS, Please note: We are the original conceptual pioneers of these innovative dual Mini-IDE cables from May 1992.

Please note: We do not make Male to Female ( M<-->F ) mini IDE cables, that is to say, we have not been able to perfect a successful way of attaching mini 44 way cables to a mini 44 way male header connector as there are not enough conductors and heat via the soldering process alters the metallurgical properties, thus rendering the wires brittle giving rise to the individual cables "snapping" during attempted assembly.

ie., they are wired as pin 1 to pin 2, pin 3 to 4, through to pin 44 to 43 etc, not as in an a standard I.D.C.

would have normally connected a standard 3.5" 40 pin Hard drive and an adapter is not practical, due to size restrictions etc.
For 2.5" to 3.5" Adapter board.

So...What does IDC mean ??..Simple, ..." Insulation Displacement Connector".
The plastic insulation is displaced by the sharp metal "fork" of the upper connection allowing the wire within to
make good contact with the the connector,
the wires line up with their respective connecting "forks" and are "pressed" in assembly as an interference fit,
thus assuring good electrical connectivity.
Dual 2.5" , refers to a cable with two mini 44 way connectors attached at one end and one more mini 44 way connector
attached at the other end, the cable is of a certain length.
This cable is used where one connector connects onto the 44 way header pins on the mother board, the other two connect
to two other 2.5" mini IDE hard drives, these typically are mounted within the A1200's case.
Single 3.5" refers to where one end connects via a 44 way connector to the mother board, the other connects to a 3.5"
IDE device such as a 3.5" Hard drive.
A Single 2.5" refers to one connector attaching to the internal mother board's 44 way male pins and one to the mini
2.5" internal Hard drive.
Dual 3.5" refers to a cable with two standard 40 way connectors attached on a mini 44 way cable of a certain length .
The mini 44 way connector attaches to the mother board and there are two 3.5" device connectors attached , they can
be internal or external, please tell us and make your choice when ordering .
Internal refers to the fact that the hard drive or IDE device is mounted inside that computer, either 2.5" or 3.5"
with insulation.
You can fit a 2.5" hard drive, two 2.5" hard drive all inside an A1200, or one 3.5" hard drive. Solder wires to get power.
Power must come "OFF" the rear of the power input connector.
A serious Word of Caution regarding an Amiga A1200, with internal 3.5" Hard drive power.
This must NEVER be tapped on to nor connected to the floppy drive power pins, as this may result in too much current being
drawn through the already thin circuit board tracks, these were never designed to run heavier current, only one floppy.
External refers to the fact that the hard drive or IDE device is mounted out side that computer. It refers to the fact that there will
be one 44 way connector attached to the mother board and the remainder of the cable exits between the left side of the A1200 case.
