Best place to get these ?

Whats the best place to get these sata connectors from ?

Is it as simple as cutting them off older PCB boards or are they something you can buy ready to solder with ?

DigiKey and probably many other parts suppliers sell SATA connectors; examples here. I haven't seen any of just the data portion but it would be easy enough to split them using a Dremel tool.

Thanks Larry, Ive found some on eBay that I think will do the job.

The ideal sata header is a 67490-125 but I can't find that exact part :roll:

Mouser has some that may be suitable (although not with that part number) and more quickly available. Where did you get that part number?

Its in one of the manuals I got with the PC-3000

That looks like the one in the middle of my last pic, except the leads go up instead of down.
