I've got a pair of adapters for turning Laptop Optical Drives into standard IDE & MOLEX connector internals for desktop/tower use.Is there such a thing available for adapting Laptop Zip Drives to same? :?:

Funny, I would have bet that the connector on the back of the Zip drive was the same as the one on a CD/DVD.

BTW, instead of figuring out the Dell connector, try the one for the Pismo/Lombard Zip. Same connector on the Zip end and you probably already have the pinout for the PB end.
