Looking for IDC male connector, 40-pin for 80-conductor ribbon cable. This is used on IDE hard drives. Or an 80-conductor cable with 1 each 40-pin male & female connectors. Can't seem to find a source, but that is probably because I'm not using good search terms...Anyone know where to find these?Thanks.

Unless I missed what you're saying, such a cable should be available at any good computer hardware store. E.g., Newegg has them under Computer Hardware -> Cables -> IDE. Some are specifically said to have 80 conductors, but all models specced for ATA133 should be 80-conductor types.?cm_sp=cablessubcat001-_-flashstorefront-_-ide

There are two types of connctors. One AMP and one other, i think ansley, but i'm not shure. They use different pins for the stiped wire. As long as you dont mix brands, you have no problems. But it can be used to switch pins.

Actually there are three kinds of connectors for this application and they are color-coded (black, blue and grey).
