Which is the correct IDE cable?

I heard that there is a difference between the HDD cables that my P4PE will accept. Someone eluded to the fact that to get the highest ATA, I'll need and 80pin? rather than the older style cable on my primary IDE channel, to be sure I'm not running at ATA/66 or the like.

I'm not sure how to tell if I'm using the correct cable. Can someone please advise me? Thank you.

Is adding another hard drive pretty easy?

I've got a Maxtor 80GB 7200rpm 8MB cache that's seemingly acting up. Before I ditch it altogether, I do have another Maxtor 80GB 7200rpm 2MB cache that I could add to my PC as a data or OS drive.

I'm thinking of adding it and running the two so I don't have a massive reconfigure if the 8megger pukes on me.

Clean Power Question

Hi all,
I am just thinking of getting something done with my power. I am currently using APC battery buckup (500 VA) and power conditioner to connect my main studio components (Avalon 737 preamp, Mackie hr824 monitors, PC, synths). My question is: will getting balanced power or voltage regulator units improve the quality of the sound?

how do I treat this horrible audio signal?

I went to a show in New Orleans a couple of months ago. I went to record a band I admire very much (Deadboy and the Elephantmen).com I had my AKG C3000, and a video camara. Well on the way down there my mic got busted up with half of my luggage. So I just recorded the show with the camcorder's mic. Well I knew It wasn't going to be good, but I didnt know it would be this bad either.
