none of the USB Blaster Rev B we had is still used and all of them have been replaced by Rev. C, In some rare cases we had to replace the yellow flatcable with a normal ide cable, as used like with hard disk connectors.

maybe the reason is as FvM already said due to SI issue and there was a reason to chance the revison of the usb blaster.

if you want to give the usb blaster rev b a try with a ribbon cable, be hure that this cable is short, less than 10cm over all.
