ATA/100 Hard drive/ DVD cable upgrade Source: Icrontic.com Posted: 12/06/01
This is a cool hack that was that was done by the folks over at Icrontic.com that involves simply replacing the ATA/33 IDE cable in your Xbox with an uncut ATA/100 cable. An uncut cable is a cable without one of wires cut. I am looking for a source now and I will post it here when I find one. If you find a source for an uncut ATA/100 cable, please let us know and we will give you credit..

Speed Increase? YES!
Icrontic.com - To test the new cable we ripped a Pennywise CD to the HDD and monitored the times with a stopwatch:
18 min 53 sec
16 min 35 min

desiboy - "there is an improvement... if you have DOA3.. when you get to the character select screen.. it takes a couple seconds for the characters to load... with the ATA100 cable.. the characters load in about half a second to a second.. its faster.. and its noticeable.. same goes with levels in halo.. do load a few seconds faster"

Here is a link back to the original article on Icrontic.com
