Title: 50-pin slim IDE pinout
Post by: DHowett on Jun 20, 2008, 07:41
I can't find one on the website, so i was hoping that I could come here for info on the pinout of the 50pin slimline IDE connector, on the cd-rom drive side. I'm building an adapter to allow me to plug a hard drive into a slim ide plug (to use my laptop's cd-rom bay as an extra hard drive bay, for example). I found a 40pin -> 50pin cable layout on this site but it was for doing the opposite thing, and there was no diagram of the cd-rom plug.

I have been also looking for the same in vain. the nearest product I found was:

Unfortunately, I am not in the US. Still hoping to find it. Another idea is to get the thinkpad drive bay (it is more expensive).

 :'( that's exactly what I was building.
Major Sad Face.
I guess I might as well finish the project.
