Hello members of the Forrest, I'm going to flash my BenQ DVD drive and I don't have a connectivity kit. I've flashed drives before using the console to power the drive, but I was wondering if it would be possible to use my SATA & IDE to USB Adapter to power the drive.

Heres a link for the adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6812264001" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks in Advance to those who make the Forrest such a great resource.
