I haven't bought a full retail packaged floppy drive in
years, so I don't know if a retail box would have a cable.
Most hard drive and PATA optical drive retail packages do
have a cable in them.

If you haven't checked the box yet do that- and if you still
need them my links below assume you really mean IDE, as-in
PATA hard drive or does "HD DVD" mean high definition?
Regardless, browse around this site (or many larger computer
parts sites to find cables by category).

Longer IDE cables? March 19, 2006, 3:39 pm

With longer IDE cables it's harder to make sure all the (parallel) signals arrive at the same time (+/- some milliseconds)! Error Message Given? April 1, 2006, 10:57 am
