Can a 3.5" IDE drive be used with the 1200 or can only 2.5" be used? If I understand the difference, the 3.5" has a 40 pin connector and the 2.5" a 44 (the 4 extra pins carry power I think). I have a 500 with an IDE drive already. I'm not planning on selling the 500 because its not worth the trouble, so I would like to use the IDE drive in the 1200 (not purchased yet).
