What connects with a ribbon cable?

A 34-pin ribbon cable will connect a floppy drive.A 40 (or 80) conductor ribbon cable is for (E)IDE devices.Other ribbon cables may be used (80 conductor for SCSI, and in older systems, MFM and RLL Hard drives).A smaller ribbon cable (10 conductors) may be used for USB Headers.I think that covers most of them.
