atapi-4, atapi-5, atapi-6
The drive interface that uses an 80-conductor ribbon cable is IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Drive Electronics, an interface commonly used to connect hard disks and optical drives to computers.
ATAPI-5, ATAPI-6, and ATAPI-7 ATAPI-5, ATAPI-6, and ATAPI-7
Why is there confusion between EIDE and SCSI drive interface standards
80 conductor IDE cables are needed to enable UDMA speeds (33MB/s +).
No its not ATA is a interface standard not a type of hard drive the only difference between Ultra ATA and a diffrent inerface standard is that it can use the 80-conductor cable or serial ATA cable
ATA (UDMA) 66/100/133 modes of operation require the new cables that have 80 conductors
Master.
ATA/ATAPI -4, ATA/ATAPI -5, ATA/ATAPI -6, ATA/ATAPI -7 (SATA)
SCSI
A CD drive can interface with a mother board using an EIDE, SATA or SCSI interface.
EIDE cable uses a 40-pin connector at the end of the cable to interface with the drive.
Answer: When using an 80-conductor cable-select cable, the drive nearest the motherboard is the master, and the drive farthest from the motherboard is the slave. You can recognize a cable-select cable by a small hole somewhere in the the data cable or by labels (master or slave) on the connectors. -CompTIA A+ Guide to Hardware, Managing, Maintaining, and Troubleshooting Fifth Edition 2010 copyright - Jean Andrews, Ph.D.
