Hi,
What I want to do is have a cable run from a laptop size dvd-rom drive in my cars dashboard (VW Golf) to under the passenger seat.
I know that you can get 90cm rounded ATA Cables, but these arent long enough. Are there any longer cables or female-to-female connectors to connect 2 cables? And what about power cables?
Whats the longest cable recommended in the ATA-66 specification? Would S-ATA be a better option with a parallell to serial adaptor on the dvd drive?
Perhaps a slimline USB Drive could work, but a full 5.25" drive is out of the equation.
Any Ideas at all would be greatly apreciated.
