I purchased two UDMA/66 cables from Fry's Electronics. There stores are
located throughout the west. They were different lengths and prices.  The
average price was ~$20.

It's my understanding that these cables are needed for both UDMA/33 and
UDMA/66 drives to transfer at ratred speed as follows:

UDMA/33-66 drive with IDE cables = 12MB/s.
UDMA/33 drive with UDMA/66 cables = 33MB/s.
UDMA/66 drive with UDMA/66 cables = 66MB/s.

If anyone without access to Fry's needs more information I can get the
name/address of the cable manufacturer the next time I'm in Fry's.
