Answer» I came across a HP CD-RW/DVD drive model GCC-4243N and I can't FIND the connection type
I've FOUND a few sites that say it's an ATAPI/IDE but judging by the pictures I've seen there's no way that it will match.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
[attachment deleted by ADMIN to conserve space]That connector is a standard IDE connector USED on laptop optical drives, you would need an adapter to connect it to a regular IDE port. What are you trying to connect it to?I salvaged it from a junked laptop and was hoping to connect it to my Raspberry Pi device.
Is this possible?You would only be able to connect it to a Pi if you were able to find an appropriate adapter to convert it to USB. At that point you are probably just better off buying a USB DVD drive.
