    To run the IDE bus faster, the 40 signal lines are run with a ground line next to each signal. This equals 80 lines (40 ground lines plus 40 signal lines. If the computer setup is set to run the modern parts at the faster bus speed, there will be a warning message that the cable is not the proper one to do this.
    Suggest buying an inexpensive 80 conductor cable, and run some of the peripheral devices at the faster speed.
