disk adaptation

[spanish-man]

(excuse the translation, I am Hispanic)
I need to connect a disk IDE of 3,5 inches in a connection of disk of 2,5 inches.
You that it is possible but I don't remember the connections.
It can be the address of a place that has information on the connections of disks it IDE-ATA.
Thank you.

I am not sure what your question is, especially about a 2.5 connection. Perhaps you can provide more details. You may write to me in Spanish, if you prefer, at the adddress below.

No estoy seguro de su pregunta, especialment del conexion de 2.5. Quizas puede darme mas detalle. Usted puede escribirme en espa~nol, si usted prefiere, a la direccion por abajo.

You can get adapters to do this, I know where to find them in the US, but in your part of the world, I have no idea.

CSO (http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com) often has them. Pricewatch (http://www.pricewatch.com) might have something from outside the US, I'm not sure.

You might also check with local computer shops, they might be able to help you locate one.

If you had everything...Where would you put it?

The taut one below is original Spanish, the translator is what doesn't work
I live in Uruguay, and here I cannot acquire adapters of this type for that it is not necessary simply to sell, that we make it is to build them, I have already seen them in other computers hair it doesn't copy them.
It is to place a hard disk IDE of 3,5 inches in the connection of a NOTEBOOK (that originally takes a disk of 2,5 inches), I believe that the connection that you/they use the disks of the NOTEBOOK is TAT4.
Or in another way a place in Internet that shows the diagram (outline) of the connections it TIES
Thank you for the attention.

Este texto es original español, el traductor es lo que no funciona.
Yo vivo en Uruguay, y acá no puedo adquirir adaptadores de este tipo por que simplemente no hay para vender, lo que hacemos es construirlos, yo ya los he visto en otras computadores pelo no los copie.
Se trata de colocar un disco duro IDE de 3,5 pulgadas en la conexión de un NOTEBOOK (que originalmente lleva un disco de 2,5 pulgadas), creo que la conexión que usan los discos de los NOTEBOOK es TAT4.
O de otra forma un lugar en Internet que muestre el diagrama (esquema) de las conexiones ATA
Gracias por la atención.

I found a diagram in the following link. I have not found any other information to confirm its accuracy.

The 2,5"-drive connector has 44pins, this is 4 more than the AT-Bus. They
can be connected by using an adaptor.

I first thought they were counted one row down and the other row up, but
as I found out the standard way is like this:

1 o o 2
3 o o 4
. . . .

. . . .
39 o o 40

so the pin table has to be:

44pin: 40pin:

1 - 40 1 - 40

41, 42 +5V (red)

43 GND (black)

44 N.C. / Jumper??
