Creative Sound Blaster Audigy/Live! Drive Ribbon cable

[ComputerWizKid]

I have two Creative Sound Blaster cards one is a Live! 5.1 and the other is an Audigy Platinum I have the 5.25" interface bay for the Audigy but I lost the cable.Can I make an old IDE cable work with it? both have 40 Pins but the key pins are in different places. If not how can I make my own cable?

Here is an image of the Creative AUD_EXT connector on the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
both cards have the same connector

Thanks

Anyone know?

I would think so as long as there are cross overs in the original cable.

Hmmm... I can't find anything... if you find an answer, please let us know as well!

I may be mis-understanding but a quick look here doesn't make it look very compatible with an IDE cable....http://www.hardwareheaven.com/hardw...reative-audigy-2-ad_ext-pin-assignment-7.html

I used a 40 pin IDE cable (40 conductor, not 80) without issue on my Audigy for years.

Just make sure you're aligning pin 1 correctly on both units.
