IDE Cable
The new cable has the same 40 pins as the old one - but has 80 wires.
Unless your system is older than a Dimension 4100, it already has an 80-wire 40-pin cable. If not, and you use the new one, chances are you will need to rejumper the drives as master and slave, since the new cable probably is not a cable-select cable. "Roy" wrote in message ... Just bought a Maxtor 80 gig ATA drive to act as a secondary drive to my existing Deskstar. Apparently I have to use a 80 - pin UDMA cable for this drive. My present drive uses a 40 pin cable. Will I be able to fit the 80 pin cable in place of the 40 pin one and use cable select on both drives
