One thing that I know, this is not an IDE drive.

Where can I get such drive (no matter model or capacity. Just the same interface on 2.5 drive).


Many Thnaks!

That is a Quantum SCSI 2.5"

TNX, I thought so..

I looked on ebay by the string "scsi 2.5 drive" and found all those:

Those drives seems with a different interface... What is going on?
Is there few different scsi interfaces?!
(1) with 47 pins 2) with kind of weired interface 3) Must be more..)

@Scorpion:

Yours is a Quantum GLS 85S - as guru said, it's a SCSI drive (85MB!). Here are a couple of links about the drive, including pinout, in case that's helpful:

Those drives seems with a different interface... What is going on?

As far as I remember, at the time this drive was released (early 1990s), there was no SCSI interface mechanical standard defined for 2.5" disks, so each manufacturer was producing their own variation (i.e. standard signals, but different pinout / connector type etc.).

I have an old ATA version of that drive. I think the ATA/SCSI PCB's were compatible

my memory is a little foggy so don't blame me if I am wrong
