lo all, just got my hands on a new IBM laptop DVD drive P/N : 92P5990 i want to use it in my current project box but there is a small problem, the connector at the back doesnt seem to be a standard drive connector it looks like this and my converter looks like this my old Dell laptop 24x cdrom was in a shell and once dismantled it had the proper conector, but this one doesnt seem tobe the case (dont want to risk ripping it apart yet) any ideas? or anyone can shine a light on this type of connector? cheers
you need to get an adapter called a corer1 here is a link for a uk firm selling them http://www.milesie.co.uk/shop/asp/product1.asp?Product=337
