   Funny, that must be new.  What does IDE stand for?  But notice the JDR   
   page has other errors...  Since when does a 40-pin connector have its   
   connectors arranged 2x10?  I think them calling it "IDE" is a simple   
   shortcut by people who don't know/care the difference.

   IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector, and every connector   
   that clamps onto a cable thru the insulation is of that type.   
      
   IDC for ribbon cables have come in card edge and pin grid for many years   
   before IDE was a common term.
