It looks like a standard laptop IDE cable to me. I have a 233 MHz iMac's guts that I'm planning on building an amusing case of some kind around, and I've test-fitted a laptop IDE drive in there... haven't got it to power up yet, though, so I have no idea whether I'm going to have a problem with it. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
