SMD disk specifications

[Chris Zach]

Oddly enough I have a 9457 Lark out in the shed. The trick is the SMD to 
whatever it is connection is made in the power supply box, there is a 
ribbon cable going from the box to up to two drives and an SMD interface 
on the other side. Do you have the power supply?
