You’ll also notice that there are little plastic jumpers to the right side of the IDE connector, and then to the right of the jumpers there is the power connector.Īccording to the very terse one page user manual (sheet) included with this cable, you are supposed to make sure the drive is in Master mode.

Version 2 has the same features as the original version, but adds one important feature to the mix. For those of you that might recall the first review, this is a cable that allows you to connect an IDE device to your computer via a USB port.
