Using a 2,5"-drive in a desktop - PC
! No guarantee for the information below to be right !
The 2,5"-drive connector has 44pins, this is 4 more than the AT-Bus. They can be connected by using an adaptor.
Here is a picture of one that is available at most computer/electronics shops:

I think with this picture and the neccessary electronic-equipment it is even possible to build it oneself,
but I do not recommend this for the adaptor is quite cheap.
This is how the pins are to be connected:
| Pin on 2,5" | Pin on AT-Bus | Power supply |
|---|
| 1 - 40 | 1 - 40 | |
| 41, 42 | | +5V (red) |
| 43 | | GND (black) |
| 44 | | N.C. / Jumper?? |
