It sounds like you need either a) a converter from the normal 4-pin power connector for a PATA hard drive to the smaller connector for an SATA drive or b) a new power supply that has the connectors already there The converter is much cheaper and should be available at your local computer store. There should be two cables going to the drive, and they look a lot alike except the connectors are a little different. The one with the smaller connector is for the power and the other one is the data line. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
