Powering the ide to SATA adapter using Dreamcast power supply pinout?

[cryptblood1986]

Is it okay to cut a molex cable then solder its 5v, 2 grounds, and 12v to the power supply pinout. Then I will connect the molex head to the ide to SATA adapter?

You probably can do it directly from your supply board. It's avoid to touch your motherboard.
But it's good, you Can if you want :-)

No bro.... I can confirm it didn't work. Smoke came out of the molex pins.

You have only to plug the 5V, may your supply needs to be changed ?
