    There is logic involved, not just a cable converter.

    http://www.shuttletech.com/ makes the appropriate single-chip logic, and
    with quite a bit of soldering you should be able to make a little
    something out of it, if you're good at that sort of thing.

    But I suspect that the simplest thing is going to http://www.h45.com/ and
    buying a QuickDrive or QuickCD enclosure. They aren't too expensive.

hang yourself.  And then a couple of feet more, just to be sure.
