| ERROR FIXED | The connectors used for 80-way high speed ATA cables are NOT the same as the 40-pin connectors. Externally they look the same, but internally they are much more complicated, with a grounding rail along the body to earth all the extra shielding wires in the cable. | APPROVED | ||
| CORRECT | Some nice extra info about the connector and things around it. Keep up the good work. :) | APPROVED | ||
| 2008-09-15 02:16:16 | rev. 4 | INCORRECT | First. These connectors have not 40 pin, but 39. The apsent pin is a key, protection from incorrect connection. Second. Male and female connectors should be mirror reflections of each other. | APPROVED |

| 2012-06-27 21:30:05 | rev. 5 | INCORRECT | The master drive is not at all "in charge". In fact, the official spec lists the two drives as "Device 0" and "Device 1". | APPROVED |
| 2014-01-10 04:06:49 | rev. 6 | CORRECT | no errors | APPROVED |
| 2018-01-21 09:51:07 | rev. 7 | ERROR FIXED | Pin #39 is an output from the drive. It is shown as input to the drive | APPROVED |
| 2023-04-09 18:00:57 | rev. 9 | CORRECT | I'm interested in making a stand-alone cd player from an internal drive using the coax digital output on the back (2 pins). My problem is to start the playback on drives that do not have a play/volume button on the front (which I know is also analog, but I will not need the analog out). Is there a pin that will start playback? Maybe pin 25. If you have any additional info regarding audio playback on this type unit, it will be much appreciated. Thanks. | APPROVED |
