IDE drives don't normally need the 40th pin (actually it's in the middle = on=20 the bottom, 30?) and scsi drives have 50 pins or so. if it doesn't look=20 exactly like an IDE interface, it's probably scsi, do a google on the dri= ve=20 model if there's no docs on the drive itself (that only happens in that o= ther=20 perfect world). anthony On Monday 09 December 2002 06:10 pm, Michael Havens wrote: > I meant to say the cd rom doesn't say SCSi while the HD does..... > Wait.
