Some drives put the connector on backwards. >Seriously, what is the problem?????? >>Thanks for all and any help.. >> -Ajay Choudhri >Chris Freemesser, Rochester Institute of Technology | What I like : This is not true for all Sony drives. For example, the OEM drives that Sony makes for HP have the power connectors replacing some of the lines that would normally be used for grounds. Also, they are strapped to run at 600 RPM instead of 300 RPM. I would suggest getting the schematic from Sony if you are not certain how to hook the drive up. Dave Ritchie
