Is there really a 40/80-pin 4-connector IDE? I'm asking because sometime ago when I was at a computer shop a guy came in and asked for a 4-connector cable (of course the shop didn't have it).Sporkmaster wrote:..getting a ribbon that has four plugs rather then three.

I don't think there is. There's master and slave, no third setting for one IDE chain.

There is also a cable select option but I suspect it determines who the master and slave will be. I've never seen an ide cable for a third device as well.
