Anyone have a source for Seagate rs232 adapters? Mine is kinda touchy. I wouldn't mind having a spare or two on hand. I especially would like one with solid connectors on the drive end (four/eight pin option). This is where mine is most touchy (I used a 2mm housing and pins from a Matrox video card for the four-pin SATA connector and it isn't ideal).

I made one by splitting IC socket pins from a strip and connect with wires to the serial port.
Now I can connect the sockets easily to either seagate or samsung, and it is not touchy...
