Apple might have uses a different one, but that's just a converter adapter attached. According to my research those OEM drive Apple uses also appear on other brand of laptop. And other model of mac.

On one end of the cable is the standard JAE KX14, to plug into the drive, which should have a KX15 connector, and the other end of the cable is a different connector to connect the ODD cable to the logic board. This is a picture of the connector that the drive module you've purchased will have to mate to - http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Optical-Drive-Cable/IF186-022

As you can see, I've bought something I can't make use of... lol. Sorry for the wrong info earlier. I wonder if there some sort of converter adapter... Edited by (07/14/08 08:57 PM)
