That would make me a bit leery. If the DB-25 is not female at the end of the 
motherboard/bracket cable, I'd suspect that it might actually be a cable for a 
DB-25 _serial_ (RS-232) port rather than a DB-25 parallel port. I'll repeat 
what I said eariler: check your pinouts carefully!

If you really do need a DB25F-DB25F adapter, they should be available at many 
places, like Jameco. Or try www.monoprice.com -- they seem to have every cable 
and adapter under the sun, usually for very good prices.
