As the title says, how much current can be safely pushed through one of those before risking damage ?
Also, according to the 44-pin IDE pinouts I have found , two pins are used for what looks like power delivery : pin 41 (logic) and pin 42 (motor), are there official specs about how much current can be drawn from either ?
Finally, on 40-pin IDE, pin 20 is usually blocked/absent, but apparently can be used for power delivery (assuming connected devices support it). Does anybody know the official max current specs for that ?
This is motivated by the quest that I am on to use alternative storage on a Roland VS-880EX ( Using a vintage multi-track recorder as a mixer, namely the Roland VS-880EX - might apply to other Roland VS- units ) .
