[CyberSh33p]

there is no difference, right? and IDE connector is an IDE connector?

I am rebuilding my comp, as I just got a new mobo, and I can't seem to find a short one(IDE connector) which went from the middle of the connector which goes to thecdrom drive to the cd rw drive. wll any old connector work? and will I need a short one, withou tthat little extra connector in themiddle.
I've never worked with the things, and any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance
