Hi,
For the first time in a long time, got a little confused putting
on the ide ribbon to a dvd-rom..and broke half of the pin off in
the middle of the dvdrom host interface..the one above the empty
space.

Has anyone seen a picture describing what each pin is used for?
For all intensive purposes the drive appears to be fully
functional, and i've always kinda felt that pin was there just for
placement guiding.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but the question sorta applies to the
motherboard end of the interface as well.

Any links/answers?
All my google searches in vain.. ;)
Thanks,
jo

You broke off pin 19... which is a ground.
