In general, you need the 80wire-40pin cable. That would be the one that's blue
at the end that goes into the controller (the motherboard). But, I believe its
backward compatable, and the older cable can still be used. I think the burst
speed would be affected, but that's not going to be noticeable to you, in terms
of speed.

Funny how, in talking about a problem someone else is having, you come
across something you might have a problem with yourself!!
Are there different IDE cables for ATA 133 hard drives than ATA 66/100?
Reason I ask is that I've got an 80gb ATA 133 drive as my master and 20gb
ATA 100 as it's slave, and I'm using the same cable I had when I had the
20mb drive as the master and an 8gb ATA 100 as the slave.
Cheers
