Nope. If it is a ide device, just check that your ide cable is of the type

Take a look at the images here, to see the difference between a 40 and a 80
conductor cable (both have 40 pin).
My NEC DVDRW refused to work without such a cable.

My drive has in total only 40 pins. How an 80 pin connector would
fit into it ?

it's the same connector with more conductors


Here are some images of the connector I use -

This contains 40 pins and fits exactly into the socket of the drive. Show me some photos of 80 pin connector :)

Do you think converting it to SATA using IDE-SATA converter will work ?
