Hi there !

If you are connecting to the  5.25 ribbon cable you must have the 3.5 drive
mounting assembly ( like the ones used for PCs ). The actual pin outs from
the drive control board are a little different. I have some docs on a SSSD
 Sony 3.5 and they list the pins differently. If you need the info, let me
Know and I'll be happy to send it along to you.
