Xbox IDE Cable UK

Anyone know where I can get one thats ATA133 rated? (80pin) can't find one that works.

 

I thought they were 40 pin ones. Just going from memory mind you.

Any cable should work. Maybe it's something else.

 

Currently they are 40 pin ones, need an 80 pin one.

And they're wired up all weird.

 

They're just fully wired IDE cables, nothing weird about them.

 

Hmm, I thought they had to go the otherway round.

 

no mate, pin 1 to pin 1 etc. It's a flat cable, you can't really wire them up differently without it being very obvious.

At best, it's only going to save you a couple of seconds here and there. If you really want to do it just find a normal ATA66 (80 wire) IDE cable that hasn't had any of the wires snipped.

 

I tried normal ones, they aren't long enough.

But a 20-30% increase in loading times of games I have backed up to my hard-drive from discs I own is great, especially for things like Halo2
