WTB: Compact Flash ribbon cable. Will pay bounty if anyone can find one.

(1/2) > >>

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.

tyroneshu:
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,
-FTen.
