@[email protected] that's not an #IDE connector, as it only has 30 leads and 30 pins!!!!!
@jernej__s @damnbear there are several of those since the @Raspberry_Pi since Version 2 has a 40-pin #GPIO which non-coincidentially has the same pin spacing and even before, I also do fondly remember those #IDE cables...

MiniIDE being *bigger* than IDE doesn't make any sense. Whoever decided "let's design an IDE-like connector with 4 more pins than actual IDE-) connector and name it *Mini*IDE" was high on LSD…
@jernej__s Yeah, But that's not my point… I'm not asking why it's bigger.
I mean "Mini $whatever" for something that is actually bigger than "$whatever" is a misnomer
Mini litteraly means smaller than…
There's a reason why any other connector uses "Mini" prefix for "smaller than what is considered full size connector". Be it Jack, USB, HDMI, DisplayPort…
