Hi Chuck,

Your basic cable for hooking up notebook HDs is a standard IDE cable
with extra power supply wires, I looked all over the place but I couldn't
find the wiring plan (If you could see my desk, you'd know why) but if
you want, you can order an adapter for hooking one up to a normal
IDE cable from

Yes I know it's in germany, but you might want to consider this is a last
resort if you can't find it in your local electronics store.

wish you luck,
