What is an easy way to tell a current floppy drive ribbon cable from an EIDE cable?
The floppy drive cable would be about half the width than the other.
What is the name of the tape on the PlayStation 3 circuit board and where can I find a replacement for it's connected to a set of pads two sets and is kind of gray?
That would be called Ribbon Cable. It's generally used in connecting hardware, such as: CD Drives, Floppy Disc Drives, and Hard Drives. The best thing to do is search for 'PS3 Ribbon Cable' and then make sure the Ribbon Cable has the correct amount of slots at each connection of the Ribbon Cable.
How would I connect an internal 3.5 Floppy disk drive to a motherboard that doesn't have a ribbon cable connector?
Use an external USB floppy drive. If you MUST have internal.... if you're good and creative you -might- be able to disassemble an external USB floppy drive and mount it like an internal drive. Alternatively, you could hunt down an old LS-120 "superdisk" drive. Its an IDE drive (40 pin connector, like your hdd or cdrom) that reads floppies (in addition to high-capacity proprietary disks)
Is a sata cable a ribbon cable?
No. Ribbon cables are flat and wide. The SATA cable was designed to be narrow and slightly thicker, so it would not block as much air flow in the case.
Why would you use a round PATA ribbon cable instead of traditional flat cable?
Round cables obstruct air flow less inside the case
Why would the monitor on a laptop flicker and turn red?
You may want to check the ribbon cable from the LCD to the system board, may need cleaning, use the eraser of a pencil to clean contacts on cable.
What is the Ribbon on the computer?
In a software program, the ribbon is found near the top of the screen. It contains functions and commands with little images that you can click on to perform whatever it is you want to have the program do.
What type of ribbons or data cables would you find in a PC?

Why would a 1987 Ford Aerostar 3.0L digital speedometer light up but have no display?
The lighting system of all 80's fords speedometer is an independent circuit of the speedometer itself. When there is no display, one of 2 things could happen: 1-.The power line of the speedometer is damaged. Normally they have a kind of ribbon cable with cooper bands connecting between the panel, the 12V source and the sensor. Please check the ribbon cable if it doesn't have any gap in the cooper lines. 2.-Perhaps the 12V speedometer's internal regulator is damaged, you have to check if it is replaceable, if it isn

alot more ribbon >.<
What type of power connector does a floppy disk use?
It varies. There's no universally adopted external floppy disk drive standard, so it depends on the type of drive and/or computer you have. Modern (2008) external floppy drives commonly use USB (Universal Serial Bus). This isn't really a "floppy drive connector"; it's just an ordinary USB connector. The drive unit itself contains the electronics to make the floppy drive work with USB computers. The original IBM-PC line (circa 1981) included an external floppy drive option, which used a 37-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. These weren't all that common to begin with, and are extremely rare these days. The early Macintosh computers (circa 1984) included an external floppy drive port, which used a 19-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. SCSI floppy disk drives exist, but were always fairly rare. Some manufacturers introduced external floppy drives with manufacturers-specific (non-standard) connectors. Generally, you had to use the manufacturer's expansion card and floppy drive together. Some manufacturer external floppy connectors were mechanically compatible with the 25-pin D-shell sub-miniature parallel port connector. This allowed the same computer port to be used for either printer or floppy. However, parallel and floppy are not electrically compatible, so only a computer specifically designed for this would work. Dell used it in some of their laptops (Latitude C series, for example).
