50 pin JAE connector pinouts?
i just recently got a cd drive from a broken laptop, hoping to use it in a project of mine, but i noticed that it has a very different connector in it for data transfer and power, i read online that it is a 50 Pin JAE connector, and it has 40 pins (just like normal IDE) for data trsnfer and 10 pins for power, sound, and the master/slave/cable select option.
what are the pinouts of the JAE connector?
the cd drive model is a
HP CD-RW/DVD DRIVE
model: GCC-4244N
(SO5D)
FW: 1.01
HW: A
Mecha: A
Type: MGCO
does anybody know the pinouts of this drive?

I believe this is the pinout you want. One connector is a 50 pin but the other should be only a 40 pin.
If it's different then that, it is not a the standard implementation of that drive.
what computer did it come out of?
The link you posted will help, but i still dont know what the pin numbers are for the 50 pin connector on the cd drive.
if i can find out those pins, and what the last 10 are, i can hook it up, but it will require some pretty tedious soldering.
If you have doubt about the pin description, see this image:
