[rescue] Looking for a Kittyhawk 20mb or 40mb hard drive

[Nick B]

I wonder if you can get
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-HITACHI-TOSHIBA-Hard-Drive-ZIF-to-2-5-44-pin-IDE-Adapter-Connector-/331195711436?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item4d1ccd7fccwithout
the pin header soldered...  Soldering one onto a bare board is way
easier than removing one, then adding another.  Or heck, contact them, and
see if they'll solder a straight header instead of a right angle.
