IDE cable Q

[KickFlip]

How do u tell between UDMA 33/66/100 cables?

[klosters64a]

ATA-66/100 IDE ribbons are identical. They have 80 conductors instead of the 40 that ATA-33 have. If you compare them side by side, telling the difference is easy. ATA-66 and ATA-100 cables also usually have at least one blue plug, while the ATA-33 cable's plugs are all black.

And ATA crappy ribbons are thick ribbed and the ATA good ribbons are fine.
