The max cable length on IDE is *not* 18 inches. I found some that are 36 inches in length.

I think the length limitation is similar to scsi, and scsi is only superior because you can access multiple drives simultaneously on a given scsi chain. I like scsi, but it costs too damn much for what you get.
