I've seen straight IDE 40pin to 44pin adaptors
(the power leads being separated out)
So using a standard header an 40pins flatcable to te adaptor
might solve that problem.
I had them with a 2.5" to 3.5" slidemount but the adaptor
was kinda removable. I don't think i still have it but they
do exist out there.

2-1/2" drives, though, else they'll stick too far out from the board.
Just stating the obvious: the 2.5" 44-pin connector uses a 2mm metric
grid, so if your WW area uses a regular 2.54mm grid it'll need some drilling.
