I am looking for a short 10" or less ide cable with the extra pin open. I need it for sound card.

Could try ebay for old ones? Didn't they used to not have the pin blocked off?

You could try just drilling one out, I know it would have to be a small bit. Not like you'd be out much money if you messed it up though. I don't think that pin is actually used on most modern devices.

Like Conways said try drilling it out, has worked for me, or it the sound card has just pins and no outter plastic socket, just bend the extra pin out of the way
