Oh, these drives are definitely very strange.
Made in Singapore by IBM
Singapore, the connector is like nothing I've ever seen -- it's in four
separate little sections, which are 3, 3, 4, and 8 pins wide, but
double-sided, and with spaces in between them.
I wonder if this might be some
sort of SAS connector. I guess we'll find
out eventually.
That's the internal connection to the drive itself, rather than the usual pin
header that I was looking for, which is why my thoughts of opening these up
and being able to use the drives turns out to be a dead end...
If you have the "thing into which they fit", can't you use
*that*, as an assembly, and talk TO it?
