Hi, I'm responding to this old thread about the Sanyo LaT-200a because I have here a
Running Sanyo SAT-250A /X286. This board is located inside a Sanyo LT17 Laptop (or
something that once was) and is running perfectl with an AMD 80286, 640k conv and 384k
upper.
If anyone still reads this and might be interested or just want's more information,
you can contact me at stijnbagin at

Only trouble is that it has some sort of 50-pins connection harddrive setup (i have been
thinking SCSI) directly on the mainboard from which I can make heads nor tails.
I want to hook up a standard 40 pins IDE drive, but I'm not sure how to proceed
without a datasheet on the specific connector... The Bios knows all 47 standard HD
layouts and a 3,5 inch floppy drive is already in place... I also succeeded to remove the
old monochrome LCD display and the huge controllercard and replace it with a smooth
standard ISA 16-bit full color Headland Technology's Video 7 board. The only thing
remaining is this Harddrive problem... who helps... ?
I must also mention that standard the 50 pins connector was relayed onto a
"SMS"<brand> controllercard which converted the 50 pins into a managable
26 pins connector on which i can find even less information... The 3,5 inch harddrive
took it's juice and information all from these 26 pins (the brand on this harddrive is
also unknown on the net).... I'm hoping this controllercard is unimportant and that
the 50 pins are the ones to proceed with...
