160GB ipod Classic HDD in a 5.5 80GB ipod video

<< < (2/2)

johnnyhaggis:
Hey, is there such thing as a zif 40 to CE-ATA adapter?   Can't seem to find anything on it, but if you can make a zif to IDE adapter, why not zif to CE-ATA?

rosco_pc:
Because ZIF40 is a parallel interface while CE-ATA is a serial interface (compare to IDE/ATA and SATA drive in desktop computers). SO while it is possible to make an adapter it is much more complicated adn will require additional electronics

johnnyhaggis:
Ah, like a SATA to IDE conversion which requires a board.  So I guess I won't ever be able to use this CE-ATA drive in my ipod 5.5G...

On ebay she goes, thanks guys, DB
