You have luck like I do.... I am not used to seeing Newtronics drives in the 1010. The vast majority ad Matsu*?#@**?#@**?#@**?#@*a units.
Are you 100% sure it works as an external unit? If it does, then there must be a jumper some where on the drive (maybe a solder pad?)
I can not track down any serious info on the Newtronics drive. Wish I could some real help....
