Rear Panel, PX-712A Internal ATAPI Drive (continued)

PowerConsumption: Average 17.4W for DVD read/write
IDE InterfaceConnector: IDE bus, 40-pin flat ribbon type. 
Interface complies with ATA/ATAPI-5. 
Maximum total cable length cannot exceed 18 in (45.7 cm).

Well, here in Italy is near midnight and I may wake up my 
wife with a cup of champagne, and decide to dump the

considering that a DVDRW and a CDRW are there, 
smiling to me perfectly working and offering their best 
services. :-)))


Have a nice and prosperous new year to all list
