I finally bought another caddy for the hard drive and there's something wrong with the external power supply so I've had to send it back to the manufacturer
what b&$tard invented the IDE power supply???
Ha! Those connectors are major pet-peeve of mine. They are as tenacious as hell.
Another pet-peeve: that MIDI connectors are ROUND! What were they thinking? Any other shape and I'd have a combined 3 days, 4 hours, 37 minutes, and 17 seconds (per my estimates) of my life back, which had been spent twisting MIDI cables round and round trying to line the pins up. And considering there 5 pins sitting in there, and it's a serial spec, would it have been such a major leap to just make each cable bi-directional? A pair of cables for nearly any application... oy.
Anyway I'm getting off-topic...
