    I just purchased a used cf-w2 that had the hard drive removed. I bought a new hard drive online, and followed the excellent set of instructions on this site to take the w2 apart,

    BUT I can not find any sort of hard drive cable/ plug / caddy OR figure out where one should plug into the motherboard... (I did pull the thing all the way apart, and yes, I did find where the hard drive should be under the keyboard, the only thing that is there is a thin black plastic protective covering...)

    Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement caddy/ cable assembly?
    or does anyone have a spare from a parts machine they would be willing to sell?

    I spent a few hours searching online at the usual places (ebay, froogle, panasonic's site, forums, etc) and I can't find mention of anyone selling these...

    so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    thank you!
    Greg
