    I don't know about Pioneer, but Sony recommends the use of an 80 wire IDE cable with their DVD burners.

    If your motherboard supports ATA100 cables (the connection on the motherboard is blue) you should use an ATA-compatable cable (it has blue ends on it).

    regular cables will work just fine, but I guess there is something special about the blue ones...

    Grounded all 40 wires, like a SCSI 68 pin I think it was, then Apple made the mini-SCSIwith a common ground in a 25 pin D connector.

    For a DVD drive, the 40 wire should be fine..
