The cable does not determine whether the drive is 0 or 1, the drive itself has jumpers that you set for primary or secondary (also termed master/slave drives).

You may be thinking of the floppy drive cable, where the twist determines whether the floppy drive is A: or B: (the twist -- usually in the middle -- signifies the A: drive).

Sounds good to me, My problem is really getting an 80 gig drive to work and I've followed all instructions and at best wind up with 33.82 gig every time. The instructions included a device 0 and I was merely hoping it made a difference. Thanks
