Hard disk
Installing a hard drive is a cut-and-dry operation. The hard part is prepping
it, assuming you don't have a floppy.
The connector is a 44-pin standard laptop HDD conn, CN12. You can get a cable
here or by
asking for one at badflash. To adapt this drive to a PC for prepping, check compgeeks
or your local used PC parts store for one. These are common..

Just like any IDE, but now we add the power leads:

+5V (logic) |

If you get an adapter to fit this onto your desktop PC, you will need to make
sure it has power leads from the desktop supply, as these are not the same
wires.
