I found the sony 8 bit card in the archives but is useless without the original proprietary 1x sony drive.
I also found the floppy with the drivers.
It is a 40 pin connector,not 34 pin like previous sony.
All the odd pins on the connector are tied to ground.

Some early Sony were 40pin, they were called SLCD Interface. The Sony 2x CDROMS (like CDU33A) were 34pin. Always hated the proprietary cdrom interfaces...

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

It's real IDE if it says that. There is no "fake" IDE.
