I cant just plug the drive in becasue, the plug in the SONY drive is different from the plug coming out of the adapter board in the SS drive case... anyway I know the pinouts to the adaptor board plug but need help finding the pinouts for the SONY, or a different method to hook it up... any help would be appreciated.. -Ajay Choudhri Dreamer Extraordinaire...
