It would be cool if Apple decided to put the guts of a PowerBook in the 22" Cinema display. That would rock.

Because it isn't a standard IDE cable. If you check the connectors the CD-ROM one is smaller than the HD one (in height).
PowerMac G4 400MHz/832MB/60GB
AlBook G4 15" 1.25GHz/1.5GB/60GB
Athlon 64 3500+/Asus A8N-SLI Premium/2GB RAM/990GB HD/GF7800GT 512

The CDROM cable has 50 cables, IDE has 40.
It is a custom ide cable with ten added wires for audio and power.
Does anybody know the pinlayout of this cable?

Yuck, the back of it looks ugly with the cuts for the ports.
