Need a replacement pin header.

Try a decent electronics supply place - Maplins perhaps?

not really. the ata bus (or whatever you call it) on the xbox is only ata33 so a better IDE cable won't really change much in speeds compared to a stock IDE cable.

I found a local electronics supply house that has then for $0.49 a piece. i bought a handfull of them just in case of a screw up. Look for a local store. would probably be your best bet.

OK... I mis-read it.

I thought... well, it doesn't matter what I thought, it was wrong.
