up
laptop IDE Pinouts for old IDE laptop drives - these were 50<br>
pins connectors that supported sending power over the same connector.<br>
It may be just IDE and power.<br>
<br>
As far as replacing it, this may not work, as your device needs to<br>
emulate an IDE optical drive. Flash drives and memory cards emulate<br>
hard drives, or removable disk drives.<br>
