Guru..Don't you feel, that sometimes you become a bit over "To The Point"?
Or is it something, the native language of "Cosmos"?

Should have been more specific.

I need to find a supply of 1.8" CE-ATA ZIF (CE-ATA) connectors. For specs goto http://www.ce-ata.org/specifications.asp

I'm not looking for CF+ 1.8" ZIF which was kindly linked to

I have also attached a picture if you cannot understand my cosmos speech ;o)

We get ours from esskabel.de, but we also use USB enclosures for ZIF too.

Does anyone know what this is? I guess know one has a scobby do!

This is ZIF connector
it has different type for different drives (but some drives have similar connector, like Toshiba and Hitachi)
I know two types of ZIF connectors and I have both adapters, just google it and you will find what you are looking for

PS: it might be also regular CF pin-connector (like on 1" drives) but it is hard to see from your picture. If so you would need third type of adapter

Ok know one knows....

I will keep searching. I have all of the other adapters and converters. As this is a new interface spec I guess it will take time before a suitable product is ready :O(

What unit did this HDD come from?

Hi Guru,
I use this one, and it works very good.

Still wrong connector :O) The CE_ATA uses MMC electrical schema, it's not ATA interface (PATA/PATA)

Okey then it's the same standard that Hitachi 1" drives use.
I had one of those 1" microdrives in and to fix that one I bought a Usb 8Gb hdd and took it appart and used that interface, not optimal to work via the Usb interface as I rather had worked with the ATA interface...but it did it's purpouse

Dear Bosse,

Thank You

Hi Guru,

I'm also looking for the same adapter now (the small zif type). Any luck finding one? It seems others here don't really understand the difference, the adapter you need uses a smaller cable than a standard ZIF connector.

Hi, and sorry for the delay.
The drive I repaired was a Hitachi HMS361008M5CE00 Microdrive.
I bought one of those:

And then I took the usb-drive apart and use that connector as an interface.

i am holding in my hand the same HDD in the picture, it is from my 160GB ipod. the connector inside was it a ribbon cable converting the ce-ata to a standard ZIF HDD interface. because of the largesize i am worried the controler inside will not recognize the drive.
