IDE cables are generally the same. They are either 40 or 80 conductor cables (same connector, except that the 80 conductors are rated for ATA66 while the 40 are for ATA33)

As long as it says it's an IDE cable that fits in the IDE slot then you're good to go. Floppy disk cables are slightly narrower.
