No such animal. You might be thinking of an 80-conductor ide cable.
Let me answer your question with another one. Let's say you have two
similar boxes of crayons. One has 64 crayons in it, and the other has 48.
Can you think of a way to determine which is which?

You owe me a keyboard for that one.

80 WIRE ide cables have one connector colored blue (this end goes to your MB
or disk controller card).

It's not always coloured blue. I've got some supplied with gigabyte
boards that have a green end for plugging into the motherboard and then
the other connectors are black and grey.

The 80 conductor cable has finer wires...
once you've seen one of each it will be fairly obvious |
