Mike,

I think that you are not looking at the hard drive itself but at a
"caddy". The caddy can be opened and the hard drive is inside it.

All 2.5" IDE hard drives have a standard (with one exception) interface
connector. It's 44 pins, then a gap, then 4 more pins. The 44 pins are
the standard 40-pin IDE interface (same as on a desktop 3.5" drive, just
with a different connector) and 4 power/ground pins. The extra 4 pins
are used for drive configurations (master/slave/cable select). The only
aspect of this interface that is totally non-standard is the use of the
4 pins for master/slave/CS configuration, which varies by drive model.
Otherwise, everything is standard, going back to at least the early 1990's.

Need HD connector pinout for Toshiba T4900CT

I can't find a HD cable for my T4900CT.
I did junk a 4600 that has the same connectors.
Error 22, so probablly different pinout.



Pinout is normal, you may be trying to use too large-capacity a drive.
The maximum is 500 meg, if I remember right.


Please explain "normal" It's a tiny 50-pin surface mount connector.
Looks kinda like the inside guts of centronics connector that's
been shrunk a lot.
There's a mouse connector, beeper and some leds hooked into the same
cable as the HD on the 4600. Not surprised it doesn't work.

Disk capacity is irrelevant, cause it ain't plugged in.

Restoring the critical part that you snipped from my original post:

I could rewire the connectors if I could find
the pinout for PJ305 , the Hard Disk connector on the
motherboard of the T4900CT.

Again, Need the connector pinout for the motherboard connector.
