Hi,

My Zen had a Toshiba drive with connector 1.
I bought a Samsung HS12YHA and a connector 2 and I confirm it doesn't work.
Do you know where I could find connector 3 ? I searched on Google and on eBay but I only find connector 2...

Thanks for any help.

mrtrevor1945's page on eBay shows he's selling more than one, so he may have both kinds - it'd be worthwhile to send him a message, that is, if you haven't already.

Well, no.
It's from them that I bought mine and they only have model 2
