"A parallel format of cable used between personal computers and storage devices." It is NISOP: a cable used for IDE. Compare SCART cable, USB cable, RS232 cable. But we should probably have more at IDE to explain what this actually is. Equinox ◑ 11:09, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- It's not a cable used for "integrated drive electronics". It's one of two cables that connect an IDE hard drive to a computer, the one that doesn't carry the power. Part of this is that our definition at IDE is useless and wrong at points; all modern hard drives have integrated drive electronics, but only some of them are IDE.--Prosfilaes 17:50, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Keep per Prosfilaes, but I'm not sure the def is entirely correct. Isn't an IDE cable within the computer, taking data between the internal hard-drive and the motherboard.--Dmol 09:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, IDE cables are within devices, for connecting components together, not for connecting devices together. - [The]DaveRoss 15:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
