Drive-to-Controller Interface
The drive interfaces with the controller in three areas: the control
interface, the data interface and the DC power interface. The disc
drive receives control signals and transmits status signals over the
J1/P1 connectors. Data signals are received and transmitted over
the J2/P2 connectors. The DC power connector is J3 and it is a
4-piln AMP "Mate-n-Lock" connector.
