Thanks guys, I found one at CompUSA. They're called MPC II cables, apparently.

I got this for my dad's computer, to go along with with the sound card I got him for christmas. He listens to CDs on his computer, but he was having some shitty problems. It would skip and get crappy if he started to do other things on his computer, such as (*gasp*) start loading another program. I figured it was because he had crappy onboard sound or something. Turns out he *does* have seperate sound card, but his CD-ROM drive was not connected by one of these MPC II cables. Now I'm not sure if the problem was a crappy sound card or the fact that he wasn't using an MPC II cable.

Well, I guess I'll find out!
