    Hi everyone,

    I have a quite decent spare 2"1/2 harddrive I would like to use with a Pegasos 1. I was about to purchase a 2"1/2 -> 3"1/2 cable or adapter, but realized there were only 40 pins ones on the market. So I guess it won't work ? What do you think ?

    Here is an example of such an adapter

    Thanks for reading :)
    cheers,
    Mahen

    Those interfaces work well. I own one myself.

    Well, that's what I meant, I chose the wrong word :)

    Well, even the MOS team makes this mistake ;)

    A: Always use 80 pin IDE cables for everything. 40 pin cables are not supported.


    Edit : Geit : cool, thanks !
