WTB: Compact Flash ribbon cable. Will pay bounty if anyone can find one.
ften:
I basically want a 50pin female to 50pin female ribbon cable that will fit into a Compact Flash / Micro-Drive slot. Kind of like an IDE cable, but for the CF-I or CF-II standards. I know I can't be the only person who thought to himself "Man I would like easier access to this Compact flash adapter." The first person who finds me a site that I can buy the cable off of I will PayPal or MoneyOrder 20 bucks.
I've searched Google, Allelectronics, Digikey, etc and still nothing. At this point I'm not even sure they make such a thing. :banghead:
Rules on bounty;
I don't want a Developer Compact Flash Extender (like with a PCB board) as they are generally "bulky", won't work with my project and are ridiculously expensive.
I don't want anything that is like 100 dollars, just a cheap ribbon "IDE like" cable.
Thanks,
FTen

Curious, What is this for? PC or something else?
Witchboard:
You mean like this? <---- link
If so, you can keep the $20.
Oops, you said 50 pin. These are the cables I used for my compact flash adapters, they are for 2.5" laptop connections. Maybe the same site will still have what you're looking for.

What does this look like? Can you use regular 50 pin scsi Cables?
ften:
Well I want the cable to connect directly into a male CF port, so a SCSI cable wouldn't work.
I've actually de-solder a compact flash card and started re-soldering the CF female connector to a standard 80pin IDE cable, but the leads on the connector are so small and fragile it's a ---smurfette--- to do. If I can't find a cable I guess I'll just finish solder that, but the cable will wind up being pretty fragile.
I looked over that site Witchboard, doesn't have what I need. Thanks for the link though.
I'm planning on using the cable with my Nintendo DS.
Thank you,
