Confirm That You Have an 80-Conductor IDE Cable

How can you tell? The 80-conductor cable is slightly wider than the
older 40-conductor version. The wires in the 80-conductor version are
narrower, too.
Figure 4: Comparing the older 40-conductor cable (top) to the new 80-
conductor type (bottom). Be sure to use the 80-conductor cable.
If you have an older 40-conductor cable, replace it with an 80-conductor
cable.
