Home / Thin Clients / Thin Clients Netier internals

Netier internals (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email I finally cracked open my Netier (short on time when at home) in preparation for trying to install LRP on the DoC. Anyway I have a few questions. How does the the IDE floppy or hard drive get power ? Does enough power come throught the ide cable ? Is the same true for the 26-pin laptop floppy connector ? 04-26-2002 10:41:10

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) tcbordp Profile Yes the ribbon cables for the ide hard drive and the floppy also carry power for these devices. That is why there are 44 pins on the laptop ide cable (versis 40 on full sized ide) and 26 pins on the laptop floppy (versis 20 on the full sized IIRC). PeteB 04-26-2002 21:03:34

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email Is there such thing as a 40 to 44 pin adapter so that I can connected a standard IDE drive ? Or do I need to purchase a laptop drive...anyone know where I can get one cheap ? 04-27-2002 20:09:57

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) stretch Profile | Email This might do it for you but how in the world are you going to fit a 3.5" drive in this case ? http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HD-108 04-27-2002 21:24:16

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email I do not intend to close the cover, I just need it short term to get a working image on the doc. Thanks for the link. 04-28-2002 12:53:13

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email Is it possible to boot off a 40 pin ide floppy drive connected to the 44 pin ide connector ? I have been unable to boot a LRP image with PXE because I do not have enough conventional memory...PXE boot must be taking some. So I am trying to decide if I should buy a 26 pin laptop floppy drive or find/purchase a 44 pin ide ribbon cable and 44 to 40 pin ide adaptor. BTW - I have been unable to find 44 pin ribbon cable anywhere...anyone have a suggestion. 04-30-2002 10:29:59

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) makehell Profile Cables for 44-pin 2mm at cablesonline. Also 2mm headers to make extension. A direct 44 to 40 cable etc. Peter 04-30-2002 17:20:38

RE:Netier internals (modified 0 times) dozens Profile | Email makehell - Thanks ! It is funny, I visited cablesonline before and did a search "40 44 ide" and came up empty. I had to type "44-pin 2mm" to the the 44 to 40 pin cable. 05-01-2002 06:35:31
