Well bloody good luck then, I tried and tried for 6 months to do this but it
seems impossible to get hold of high denisty header sockets, (same as used
on 2.5" HDD). The connector you need is half a 44-pin IDE socket and are
like gold dust it seems, well from the major bits 'n' bobs suppliers Maplins
and RS... they even put me in contact with other 'specialists' but no go
there either :-/
Getting the high density ribbon cable is enough for a nightmare! I melted
my Catweasel cable and had to rebuild it from a hacked up 2.5"-> 3.5"
cable.... and i'm not sure if it fully works anymore :(

You can hope, if you have the will. ahahah.
I guess this will all be sorted by the summer so I can come and see it in
action? :) hehe.
