Here are notes I made while researching how to hook up a 2.5" Conner SCSI disk drive with a 40 pin connector. The drive in question is a CP2045. I couldn't find info on the pinout directly, but using info gleaned from an Apple Powerbook manual, and looking at the actual ribbon cable inside the Powerbook I ripped the SCSI drive from, I think I've figured out the pinout. From the Macintosh Powerbook 140/170 Developer note, found courtesy of google. Table 1-4 Pinouts for internal and external HDI-30 SCSI connectors Pin number HDI-30(internal) HDI-30(external) 1 DISK.+5 /LINK.SEL 2 DISK.+5 /DB0 3 GND GND 4 GND /DB1 5 GND TERMPWR (not used; reserved for future use) 6 /DB0 /DB2 7 /DB1 /DB3 8 /DB2 GND 9 /DB3 /ACK 10 /DB4 GND 11 /DB5 /DB4 12 /DB6 GND 13 /DB7 GND 14 /DBP /DB5 15 DISK.+5 GND 16 /BSY /DB6 17 /ATN GND 18 /ACK /DB7 19 GND /DBP 20 /MSG GND 21 /RST /REQ 22 /SEL GND 23 /C/D /BSY 24 /I/O GND 25 /REQ /ATN 26 GND /C/D 27 GND /RST 28 GND /MSG 29 DISK.+5 /SEL 30 DISK.+5 /I/O Conner 40 pin SCSI pinout, derived from above table for internal connector, and looking at the flex cable that attaches to the drive. Pin 17 is the key position on the disk drive connector. Looking at the 40 pin connector on the Conner 2.5" SCSI drive, it's numbered like this: +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | HDA | | ASSEMBLY | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ 39 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 7 . . . . 1 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 8 . . . . 2 Notice the missing pin at position 17. Here is the pinout of the 40 pin connector: Disk HDI-30 Signal Disk HDI-30 Signal Drive internal Name Drive internal Name 1 1 Disk +5 21 NC 2 2 Disk +5 22 14 /DBP 3 3 GND 23 NC 4 4 GND 24 15 Disk +5 5 5 GND 25 17 /ATN 6 6 /DB0 26 16 /BSY 7 NC 27 19 GND 8 7 /DB1 28 18 /ACK 9 NC 29 21 /RST 10 8 /DB2 30 20 /MSG 11 NC 31 NC 12 9 /DB3 32 22 /SEL 13 NC 33 24 /I/O 14 10 /DB4 34 23 /C/D 15 NC 35 26 /GND 16 11 /DB5 36 25 /REQ 17 Key 37 27 GND 18 12 /DB6 38 28 GND 19 NC 39 29 Disk +5 20 13 /DB7 40 30 Disk +5 The smaller 8 pin connector is for setting the SCSI ID, and disabling parity, I think. I found the following information in the SCSI-faq dated 12/8/94, located by google here: http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/links/comp/SCSI-Faq.txt Table A ID E-1 E-2 E-3 0 out out out 1 in out out 2 out in out 3 in in out 4 out out in 5 in out in 6 out in in 7 in in in Jumper E-4 to disable parity. I think that means E1 is pins 1&2, E2 is pins 3&4, etc. Note that I have not yet actually used this info to hook up a drive. I just wrote up what I gleaned from a my web research. Someday I hope to hook up a small 2.5" SCSI drive to my old Atari 8-bit computer. Yet another project...
