After reading your question, I examined some of hte SATA power connectors I have here and they all look like a solid plastic housing (molded in two halves which are sealed together) with wires emerging from them. Most power connectors are housings with removable pins. One crimps the appropriate pins onto the ends of the wires, and then inserts the pins into the housing in order to create teh complete connector without any soldering, splicing, nor wire nuts. But these SATA power connectors don't seem to follow that paradigm and it's made me curious. So you asked about htis in a public forum. It's only fair that you share the answer you found. :-) Jeff Walther -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
