Hummm, I've been told the black end is the mobo end. Lemme look at mine. And thats rather useless as all 6 connectors on the two 80 wire cables in my machine are black, and therefore not CS cables. So I could very possibly be wrong. And a quick search of the junkyard here did not expose a cable with multiple colored connectors. In any event, its very important for those cables which have multiple colored connectors that the correct end be plugged into the motherboard. >> I thought "cable select" cables had wires obviously crossed in >> the ribbon cable but that may not be true with this 80 wire >> ribbon? > >You're thinking of floppy cables.
