Hi,
I ordered a "USB 2.0 Hard Disk Enclosure" but my laptop hard disk (Fujitsu
MHR2020AT) has too many pins on the connector end. ... I thought it was a
2.5'' hard drive .. it measures 2.75'' width by 4" length .... Is this not a
2.5'' hard drive?? the body of the hard drive will fit perfectly inside the
enclosure but the connector is wrong ... any ideas?
cheers
cw

at ease gentlemen .. and women .. I made a mistake! There are four extra
pins on the hard drive ... but they must be for a jumper which is not
required ... the hard drive fits and I have access to all the crapolla
stored on my old now dead hard drive ... phew what a relief
cheers .. keep up the good work (i.e support through this group)
