Does anyone know what the pinouts are for the 50 pin connector or are they all proprietary?
The Torisans ( Sanyo ) has a similar connector but this is a condensed version of what I got from the Sanyo tech support:
Description:
What is the pinout for the connector on the NoteBook Torisan CD-ROM drive CDR-U241-Z? If possible, could you give me mating connector for that drive?

I would accept the pinouts on either side of that adapter. I cannot understand why you cannot tell me what the standard pinouts on the back of a drive that you manufactured. Gateway refuses to respond to a query without a serial number of the machine. I have a bare drive an no serial number. I've gotten what appears to be a standard answer from both you and Gateway. Neither answers a very simple question.

They do make a CD-RW; but, that's for another vendor. Again, I'm asking a very simple question: What is the pinouts on your CD-ROM CDR-U241-Z? Why don't you give the 1-800-538-8589 number a call and ask them my simple question and e-mail me the reply?
