And someone else quoted the last two in reverse. Can someone PLEASE go get one of these friggin cables and settle the argument? Good color vision required of course :)
I just pulled a draft copy of the ANSI ATAPI document off the web, and this is the wording...
The connector in the center of the cable assembly labeled Device 1 Connector is optional. The System Board connector shall have a blue base and a black or blue retainer. The Device 0 Connector shall have a black base and a black retainer. The Device 1 Connector shall have a gray base and a black or gray retainer.
And if that's not good enough for you, a couple of months ago I bought a brand new cable, and the connectors are MB blue with black retainer, Slave grey with black retainer (grey is same color as the cable) and the Master is black with a black retainer.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
