3.5" IDE hard drive?
« on: January 16, 2006, 08:06:19 am »
Someone mentioned something about using a 3.5" IDE hard drive with a special cable. What all is needed to make this work?

Also, can a 200gb 3.5" IDE hard drive work? Because I thought there were some limitations as to the size of the drive we could use right now?

I've done that... the pins are the same... just need to make a special cable for it, and short a couple pins to make it think the DMS is in.... do a search you should be able to find it
