You can buy a "universal" CD-ROM audio cable from your favorite computer componants dealer, it will have two connectors (sometimes 3), one for IDE the other for SCSI devices. Costs a few dollars. My experiences with this card in a beige G3 were less than perfect. Also pulled from a 7xxx series Mac and installed into a Beige G3, The card worked, kind of, but I found it to be ultra flakey. I couldn't do simple things such as install DOS/Win applications without error, file sizes would report erroneous sizes. This 166 card works great in the 7600, which it's gone back into. I also have a smaller 7" 100 MHz card, which after installing into the G3 runs flawlessly, unfortunately it is not the card I would have prefered to use in the G3. I don't know why the 166 card was a problem and the 100 card wasn't, but it was a dissapointement for me. YMMV, good luck.
