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?

FW: 1.01
HW: A
Mecha: A

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?
