Drive to Drive -- Understanding how IDE Cables work
You may call it an Integrated Device or Drive or just an IDE. IDE Cables are used to connect two drives together. These cables are usually connected with the assistance of jumpers which are situated on the rear of a drive. The top drive is called the “master” drive and the bottom drive is called the “slave” drive. The master drive is naturally the primary drive. It is usually placed at the end of a two connection IDE cable. The secondary or slave drive is attached to the IDE cable between the primary drive and the motherboard IDE connection. It is not possible to transfer data from each drive simultaneously in effect creating two master drives.
IDE Cables include either 40 individual wires or 80 individual wires. Unfortunately, people started experiencing various problems and unusual issues crop up by using 40-conductor IDE cables because of its older and weak design. The speed of IDE/ATA interface is also very low. Current devices including the Ultra ATA/66 need 80 pin wire cables to work faster. People may be wondering on the introduction of 40 extra wires in a cable. However, the extra 40 wires do not carry any additional information except they are just there to split the original 40 signal wires, in an effort to reduce intrusion and other signalling problems linked with higher-speed transfers. So the 40 additional conductors are allied to the grounding and intermingle between the initial 40 conductors of the previous cable. Any abandoned signals that would “cross-talk” amidst neighbouring wires on the 40-conductor cable are “absorbed” by these additional ground wires, recuperating signal reliability. The added ground wires can equate to all of the even-numbered wires, or all of the odd-numbered wires within the cable.
Majority of wires within an IDE Cable are used to transmit data connecting the motherboard and the drives. Now-a-days Enhanced Integrated Device or Drive (EIDE) has become a common standard because it four times faster than its counterpart the IDE standard.
It was the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) who adopted IDE as a standard in the year 1990. ANSI calls IDE as Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA). Today almost all the new computers have an inbuilt IDE controller into the motherboard. But with the advancement of technology, slowly and steadily Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA cables) are being used for connecting hard drives or CD drives to motherboards. This new invention, which is smaller in width, helps in relocating data at a fast pace as compared to the older IDE cables and is slowly replacing the older IDE Ribbon cable I.e. PATA. The data transfer rate of SATA cables starts from 1.5Gbits.
Buying tips: IDE Cables
• Check whether the IDE cables allow custom placement of the connectors on the cable and offer elasticity in the placement of IDE drives?
• Check whether the cable has 2A AC power supply to guarantee adequate power to meet the needs of the drives which are relatively power-consuming.
• If you intend to use 80-wire pinned cables, connect the blue end connector to the system board, gray middle connector to the Slave, and the black end connector to the Master for appropriate data transfer efficiency.

What's the monitor cable converter for PC called?
Let's say I'm connecting my monitor to a PC, and the cable connecting them is one of those blue ones(I don't know what it's called), but the monitor port is one of those larger white ones. I get a converter type thing and plug the blue one into it, then I plug the converter into the monitor port.
What would that converter be called?
Thank you Teknurd, I'll give you those 10 points when I can.

Are you looking for
Macbook to tv converter cables
? Do you need specific cable wires
for your Macbook to connect it to your television? This article provides basic
information on various options available to you and also provides a fast solution!
The Apple DVI to Video Adapter was designed by Apple Computers to allow Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT), MacBook Pro, Mac mini and Power Mac G5 users to connect the DVI port to an S-video or Composite video device such as TVs, VCRs or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors. The Apple DVI to Video Adapter is designed to work with the DVI port on the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT) MacBook Pro, Mac mini and Power Mac G5 systems only.
But what if you don't have a MacPro? How then do you connect your MacBook to the tv? Traditional wisdom says tha you should first verify that your MAC laptop meets the system requirements to connect to a TV. Then go to the menu system on your television to learn the proper input source for your equipment. Next you should locate the input ports for your television and your MAC laptop and verify their compatibility. If there is more than one port, select the connection with the highest quality that both devices can support or handle.
Next select the appropriate cable to connect the two. Your choices most likely will be a D-Sub (VGA or Video Graphics Array), a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) or an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). Then be sure to check your television's operating manual for the year your set was manufactured. Older models may require you to have the video card or a scan converter to translate the signals being transmitted from your laptop to the TV. Most televisions also rely on these converters to meld the computer's red, green and blue signals into a single one the TV can use. You should refer to the converter's operation manual for installation instructions.
Go ahead and hook up the sound card's "Line-Out" connector from your MAC laptop into your television and refer to the converter's manual on how to properly modify your laptop's refresh rate and resolution then turn on both devices to check your connections. Finally pay a visit to your local retail or electronics stores to purchase the necessary equipment.
Now isn't that a load of horse crap? All that instruction to then tell you at the very end to go and purchase the cables or wires you need at your local retailer. Folks if you are looking for any specific

I did some research online and apparently there are a lot of websites online offering "clear cut" methods for how to connect a computer or laptop to the television but for MacBook users, as this article is intended for, there are not many options. I did however come across a few methods which people seem to say work for them. To me it looks like a lot of hard work but maybe you prefer to do more than I do. Try to visit
