    My favorite IDE "dock" is made from an old external CD ROM drive.
    I took the guts out of the enclosure & mounted them to a piece of plywood.
    I use a standard IDE cable and a 4 pin Molex extension for the power cable.
    It fits all IDE drives and has outlasted several of my store bought SATA docks.
    I love making my own test fixtures: Used to do that when I was a tech...
