I am looking to add an internal hard drive inside of a DuoDock. I have a bracket to hold the hard drive, and the internal SCSI connector is a stand 50-pin ribbon, but Apple used a totally non-standard connector for the internal power cable. I haven't been able to find this power cable anywhere (Sun Remarketing is out of stock on it, and the people at www.powerbookguy.com won't sell it to me outside of a $40 kit with other stuff that I do not need.

So, I've decided to solder a cable onto the wires coming out of the power supply. Problem is, my digital voltmeter recently died on me, and I have no idea what the voltages of the wires are. Obviously black is ground and red is +5V, but I don't know what the other wires are. Anyone have a DuoDock and a voltmeter who would be willing to tell me what the the voltages are on the other colors of wires coming out of the power supply? I'd really appreciate it.

I just sold my duo-dock 2 yesterday.... a day earlier I could have told you. I had the special cable, I had an internal HD in the dock. I got the cable for $5 cdn, at a used Mac place called Red Tag Computers.
