Nope. If it is a ide device, just check that your ide cable is of the type with 80 conductors. Take a look at the images here, to see the difference between a 40 and a 80 conductor cable (both have 40 pin). My NEC DVDRW refused to work without such a cable. Roberto
My drive has in total only 40 pins. How an 80 pin connector would fit into it ?
it's the same connector with more conductors
Here are some images of the connector I use - http://simplest-image-hosting.net/i0-pict0238-jpg.jpg http://simplest-image-hosting.net/i0-pict0239-jpg.jpg http://simplest-image-hosting.net/i0-pict0240-jpg-0.jpg This contains 40 pins and fits exactly into the socket of the drive. Show me some photos of 80 pin connector :) Do you think converting it to SATA using IDE-SATA converter will work ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com
