The motherboard end, which is supposed to use a blue socket connector, is the end that is not connected to the PDIAG/CBLID signal line. My Gigabyte motheboard did come with some astonishingly gaudy UDMA cables. Two were bright yellow with green (instead of blue) host end connectors and a bright red stripe along the conductor#1 edge of the cable. One grey cable had a red (instead of blue) connector. As near as I can tell, the electrons still drift along at pretty much the same old speed regardless of the color.
