Does anyone have a closeup photo of the hard drive connector on the mainboard? In the photo I need to see the letters next to the connector/plug for the hard drive cable. I know I'm being lazy by not taking my MPC apart. I'm trying to get the Teac 224E CD drive to work. I know others have tried without sucess but I'm hard-headed. I picked up one for less than $20. I have a view of the CD-ROM connector through the memory module bay. It is listed as IDE0 and I'm curious as to what the hard drive connector is labeled as. I'm going to attempt a firmware flash on my Teac followed by the pin 47 mod. I ordered an adapter so that I can do the firmware flash from my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thx for the quick reply...I looked at that post already. I'm going to use it if I have to go in myself. I didn't do a good job of explaining what I was looking for. I need a close-up/zoom shot of the connector/plug on the mainboard.
