Second IDE drive in Sun Blade 150

Hello,

I have a Sun Blade 150 and want to add a second (non Sun) IDE 120GB disk
on the 2nd IDE controller. If I just connect a IDE cable from a PC on the
2nd IDE controller the Blade won't power up (even if no drive is connected
to). According to Sun you have to have a 'special' IDE HDD cable labeled
"secondary hdd cable" which Sun sells only in connection with a Sun IDE
disk. Does anybody know where I can buy this cable or know a workaround?

Regards

Kassiem
