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?
