Howdy,
Use any flat IDE cable you want. Use 80 pin cables if you want speeds
greater than 33 megabytes per second. Use CS if you are prepared to
have your computer guess which drive is which and whether you have the

There is no guessing involved.

The problem I was having may have been due to a nearby PCI card

my drive in the top position of the QSs piggyback sled, for better
