Hi all. Search hasn't been kind to me.
I have a SB Audigy 1 and 2, and managed to nab a XIFI front panel, it looks exactly like the Audigy platinum IO panel just missing the 1394 ports.
Would a standard IDE 40 pin cable suffice to hook it onto the audigy card?

Yes, I can confirm that this cable will work with Audigy2/2ZS and X-Fi I/O Drive panel (SB0251).

As for Audigy1, it's not compatible with Audigy2/2ZS/X-Fi panels due to the difference in pinouts:

Thanks

I'll double check which card is in my w98 PC build.

Don't forget to check the 1 pin on IDE ribbon cable (red stripe), it should match on both devices (1st pin marked with heart symbol)
