    Could I (we) just take a regular IDE cable and snap that header (?) over one end?

    Thanks Mike. I think that looks about the easiest way to do it.

    If you do get a 50pin IDC connector and what to give power through it, the positive wires are the 5 wires right next to the RED wire on the other side of the IDE cable. So you have:

    (looking at back of DVD)


    +-------------------------+
    |__xXX::::::::::::::::::::|
    +-------------------------+


    where the :::'s are IDE cable and xXX are the pins of the +5 (actually, that lowercase x is one of the pins, but I forgot which one [top or bottom]). Anyway, on your cable just use the 5 wires to the left of the red IDE wire.

    I know this is confusing.. I'll just try to take pics

    you know I just ordered one off bix-rate.com (or something like that) and ir worked just fine. It fits perfectly, and screws in also.
    the bad part is that it cost me like $20. I kind of just ordered it on the spot.

    But works great
    Mine needs to be updated.

    No they are set to master only...

    But you can set your HD to salve and boot on the HD...

    I use the 2 IDE ctrl...1 for the slim slot the other for the 2.5" HD...

    There is a setting for master/slave (atleast on my SR-8186-B).. It's behind the adapter on the back though, so you'll have to unscrew to set it..

    Anyway this is a detail, the drive woork perfectly and that's a great deal for a slim dvd (+ you have no tray)
