as a matter of fact i did, looking through my collection of ribbon cables, i found out that they are all the same width, does that mean that they are all ide cables? whats the difference?

Don't floppy cables have that little crossed over part?

 

[l3ored]

i think i know what crossed part you're talking about, and i dont have any like that, which is weird cause i've had a floppy on my computer before.

Proof that there is indeed such a thing as a dumb question. In the wrong forum to boot.

From what I recall floppy cable is NOT the same width as IDE cables...

 

[notfred]

They're not the same width. floppies have 34 pins, IDE cables have 40. Try plugging a floppy cable into an IDE drive.

 

[BatmanNate]

Floppy cables also often have a pin block.
