You can delete that same pin on a 40 wire cable, and the bus will act as an UATA/33 or EIDE (16.67 MB/sec) bus, whichever (host or drive) is the slowest. --- end of quote --- I just ordered a round ata cable for those two drives. I guess I could drill a hole if there is no plug to pull out. I understand the extra 40 lines in the ribbon are grounds for noise surpression. >From what you are saying, the drives, even the Superdrive (Pioneer 104), is functioning on the EIDE standard anyway.
