I found only the old model of the 750 drive, may be only those early models, 
differs from other vendors. I've tried Toshiba and Quantum too. All
the pin configuration are the same, except the old 750 drive. One pair
of pins shift one position. I've changed to the new drive now. Thanks for 
the advices.
