Differences IDC cables vs IDE cables -? - OK I got this IDE cable for the PCI cards so the sync plate BNC can be used - This can connect to Pulsar 2 or Scope Pro or ADAT expansion plate

The first cable that arrived was the wrong one - far too small and from the pics it wasn't ez to tell - looking now it is an IDC cable - The correct one is an IDE cable right?

Just in case I need a spare I can't remember where I got it from - gee not good - Anyway whats the difference between IDE and IDC? THANKs

I'm sorry I asked---- :lol: - All that information :roll: - It's just that the first cable I bought was totally the wrong one - OK it was the same style of connection but very small minute compared to the correct cable.

I bought another which turned out to be the correct one [phew] those Ebay pictures can be misleading... :wink: ....
