Who here remembers turning part of the ide cable round to add a second floppy drive?
Probably noone because floppys dont use ide.
Are you sure it was IDE? I remember jumpers for master, slave, and Cable Select so you're probably right.
I think it might have also applied to floppy drives or MFM / ESDI drives but that is going back a while.
It was actually an FDD cable which was 34 pins instead of 40 for the IDE cable. My mistake!
