I bought an HXSP-2108P CF adaptor not long ago while waiting for my IDE board from MKL. I got the board today and VCC is supplied to the IDE interface via pin 20. The problem is that pin 20 is mission on the adaptor and I need to use the external power. I do not have a flopper power cable Y splitter.
This is the adaptor I bought:
http://www.hexin-technology.com/CF_to_IDE_Adapter-Product-400.htmlI was looking on the board and it seems that I can add the missing pin and connect it to the +5 line. To be able to do this safely, I need to see how it looks under the connector. Even if this pin is unconnected there might still be a PCB trace to somewhere it shouldn't go. I do not was to desolder the whole connector just to have a look.
Have anyone done this mod to this type of CF adaptor? If I can just add a pin that would be easiest and quickets. Otherwise I have to buy a Y splitter or a new adaptor which has pin 20. It will take time and I want to start playing with the CF card now=)
