i am looking for a source for ide hard drive connectors, i believe they are 40 pin type
they need to be male pin outs, and mounted 90degrees from the board.
anyone have a source?

You mention PINS, meaning the connector would be the DRIVE side, the cables generally are sockets.
40 pin is usually the 5" desktop drive, not the tiny laptop drive, right ?
SAMTECH connectors makes them, and digikey is a vendor. You can usually call SAMTECH and get a sample in a couple days.

I thought the search would be easy. That was harder than I thought...
What you want to look for is Shrouded Right Angle headers. .100" x .100" or 2.54mm x 2.54mm pitch.
