In keeping with nerd tradition I've got the thing all in pieces before even powering it on for the first time -- boy they sure didn't skimp on screws! But the 44-pin connector is right there as promised. I'm thinking of maybe doing a tiny PCB rather than soldering 44 individual wires on, I wonder if there's a +12V source in hear anywhere so that standard 40-pin IDE drives could be used too and not just laptop drives? The case is *really* cramped though. John Wilson D Bit
