Here's another reference to the same product. A

connection is mentioned :-)

Did you forget something? The CDW specs pretty clearly
says IDE interface but doesn't specify the connector. A
search direct to Sony is hopeless, at least for me.

Once I found the model number I searched the web for it, and found it
consistently referred to as being IDE. If there was an misprint, the
pointing finger points at Sony. CDW seems to do a better job than many of
actually checking the specs they publish, being an enterprise-level supplier
at heart.

I guess the previous reference just proves that if you
search the 'net hard enough you'll have no trouble
finding a misprint.

Finding the same alleged misprint in so many more-or-less idependent sources
raises a few questions.

The device is not improbable, as it was probably closely related to the
active ingredient in the laptop drive slide-ins that I mentioned earlier in
my previous post.

The device makes sense - if space is tight and you control the OS that will
run on the box, why not just use a chipset standard dual-IDE controller,
instead of tacking on a floppy controller? Being able to plug any of the
three possible kinds of drives into the same slot has a lot of romance,
particularly on a portable machine.

That's the way it goes. If you're looking to confirm
something, you can find it. If you're looking to dispute
the same thing, you can find that, too.

From time to time Larry seems to cry "foul" when there is little or no
evidence of there actually being one.
