I thank you for this information, it has been what I was looking for.

I just purchased a 80 cable 2 hours ago, for 10 CDN and 11.5 after tax and debt card. Another store was asking 29 dolars for one and I said forget it. But it works great and so I set cable select on both the cd rom and the burner and put them both on the new cable which is the secondary ide cable. Runs alot faster now, thanks alot.
