Going to get a couple of 20MB IBM ATA100 HD to do a RAID0 setup. Do I need the ATA100 ribbon cable to make 100% speed or can I use the stock ATA66 ribbon? Also, do I plug both HD into the same ribbon or use a seperate ribbon for each HD? Thanx.

You would probably want to set the two hard drives as Master's on their own ribbon cables.

The 66 cable is usually the same as the 100. It's usually a 40pin 80wire Ultra cable. The way you can tell them apart is that it will have a blue, grey, and black connector on it.
