Cable Me

Hello. I have a six high full tower that I want to add an IDE Zip 250. If I understand right, I can fit this drive into a 3.5" drive. My problem is that if I do place the drive in this slot, I would not be able to reach the drive with the IDE cable I have alocated. I am looking for some sort of cable I can plug into the slave connector and run down to the Zip. Any suggestions?

I think they sell really long IDE cables. I think 36" is the limit.

If you have a real problem with cable length, you may want to consider using an adapter to mount it in a 5.25" drive bay.
