- not very hard to do, you will need a 2.5" cable of about 12-18" you ave to
- separate every wire and put it inside a 3.5" connector.
-
- you have to isolate the wire 41-44 cause they are 5v and ground, you will
- need an adaptor for the power to replace the floppy power cord and that ave
- connection for the HD it's like a Y
-
-
- each connector are pin-to-pin for the first 40 pins, the 41-44 are not in
- use for the 3.5"
-
-
- you need:
-
- IDC44HD (Connector for 2.5")
- IDC40 (Connector for 3.5")
- 2.5" cable 18" long
- Y adaptor for the HD and Floppy power
-
-
- that's all!
-
-
- Bye, good luck, and pay attention when you put your wire in the 3.5"
- connector to don't have any short cut!
-
-
- Bye!
