What will happen if you reverse the connection of IDE?


Sagot :

You can reverse a 40 wire 40 pin ATA 66 IDE cable no problem. You can not reverse an 80 wire 40 pin ATA 100/133 IDE cable. I tried and it didn't work. The two drive connectors are wired different so that cable select will work. If you try to connect the master drive connector to the motherboard you will get a BIOS error message
