I am looking to design a rebuild kit of rubber rollers and belts to be newly manufactured.

It would be really helpful if someone knows the pin out of these drives and if I can give the drive power only and make a switch to trigger eject for testing the new parts.

If anyone has details, it would be much appreciated!

They may be the same model used in the G4 Cube, and in the Cube there is an interface board that convert the connection to standard Molex & IDE...
