IDE
The IDE interface requires only one cable. All pins straight
from 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and so on. The drives can be connected
in any order. Only remember that one should be jumpered
as Master and the other as Slave. If only one drive is
used, jumper it as Single (if such a mode exists, or most
common Master else).
