Hi Bryn,

I probably know as much as you now, which is that we are discussing Zero
Insertion Force and Low Insertion Force devices, where ZIFs have a
clamping mechanism to secure a good, accurate connection with the cable
and LIFs gently push into to a slot. It /looks/ like the cable is
essentially the same regardless of which type you have, although at this
point I'd add I'm no expert and that conclusion was arrived at by
scanning posts on various forums.

Perhaps another way to approach this is to ask which netbook we are
discussing? (with a view to seeking out compatible LIF drives for it)
