In case you didn't se it the pin on the other side of the Connector form
pin one woudl be pin 39.
I was thinking they counted across to and then bottom row where as i
nreality it is Up Down with al lthe Odd pins being on the top row and
the Even pins being o nthe bottom row apparently.
BUT it Will woork as my I have used my Adapter to plug a Laptop
drive into an IDE cable and the Activity Light on the Adapter
works.
