and the older 40-conductor cables?

An 80-conductor cable is used to connect an ATA/100 and
ATA/133 hard disk drive to the system. Older IDE cables
were based on a 40-conductor format while the new IDE
interfaces allow high-speed data transmission. The possibility
of data transmission error is minimized by adding an
additional ground line alongside each of the 40 conductors in
the older cables. This provides shielding to the data along
these cables. An 80-conductor cable enables the newer
compliant drives to operate at the optimum speed of the
newer IDE interfaces.
