Hey all, first time poster here.
Bought this
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.0-black-13-specs.html
Macbook in '06 and even after 5 years it was still kicking. It got knocked around in a bad car accident in '11 which killed my hard drive and changed the shape of the body so that it wouldn't take discs anymore. Instead of giving up on this thing I am switching out the new replacement HDD I got for it with a SSD and giving it as a work laptop to a friend. I also took out the Super Drive and want to find out if it still works- can someone tell me what connector I need to use to get it to plug into a USB? I am hearing terms like PATA/IDE thrown around, but I'm not sure which end is which. Thanks.
