Hi all, Sorry for posting a hardware related issue. Any help would be higly appreciated
I have RH 9 installed on my machine.. Currently my PC has PIO 4 and Ultra DMA 2 enabled I want to enable Ultra DMA 3 or 4 or 5
When i try to update my BIOS to change the Ultra DMA Setting, it says "Ultra DMA 3/4 will only work when there is a 80 pin shielded cable"
1) I just wanted to know do we get 80 pin shielded cable in Mumbai (Lamington road)?? 2) How can I identify a "80 pin shielded cable" ? i.e. will it be round or flat like any FRC??? 3) If at all I get a 80 pin Shielded cable what length should i buy? I think FRC's come in 18", 24" sizes.
thanks for your help...

yes, its available even in other parts of the city also. i bought it from andheri.
» 2) How can I identify a "80 pin shielded cable" ? i.e. will it be » round or flat like any FRC??? its same as the regular cable, but you can notice thinner wires. also the cables are usually coded with color the connectors are colored black and blue. regular cables normally have only black connectors
» 3) If at all I get a 80 pin Shielded cable what length should i » buy? I think FRC's come in 18", 24" sizes. it depends on the distance between your ide channel and hdd. buy the least length you can.
