Re: Old laptop HD to pick up with usb adaptor

It looks like the problem is disk or adaptor. There's a metal
tab on the casing of this disk which forces connection in only
one way. But if this trab were bent, or on the other disk I had
trioed which didn't have such a tab, the adaptor could be connected
at least in two different ways. There's no pinhole blocked out to
match the missing pin on the 2.5" disk.

One more thing, I didn't think about. I have one USB box that required the
HD to be set for cable selection. Won't take any other setting. Other boxes
accept cable select or master.

You never know...
