Hi,
? I?m doing some work for a friend who has one of these unicorns
it?s apparently a super beefed up CIA use the laptop that wound up
in Russia somehow and he got it shipped back here to the US
The motherboard was modified it looks like the hard drive was on
some kind of a tray going to a connector which is IDE compatible
Someone had extremely poorly soldered on an IDE cable in place of
the sled and over the years several of the pans of popped off and
they?re not really making sense as to the solder points they?re
supposed to go to.? Complicating the matter is the paint outs are
not just a direct staggered 40 Pin to Pin connection several of
the through holes are not in use so just soldering on I had her
and plug in the cable into it is not possible also the pens are
staggered so that wouldn?t make it possible either.
So to cut to the chase does anyone have the schematics or the
motherboard pinouts for this connector so that I can do a proper
soldering job and put on a clean working cable so that this laptop
can vote from the IDE hard drive?
