IBM odd IDE (44 vs 40 pins, 46 vs 44 pins)?

I'm looking for information on IBM's proprietary IDE format. I have a 44-pin
drive from a PS/2-30 (I have the CPU, too, but it has a 50Mb RLL on a card),
and a 2.5" laptop drive with *46* pins plus master/slave, not the usual 44.

I'm really trying to use the 2.5" drive (in a CD-32 w/SX-1 expansion, FWIW),
but it came in an IBM housing to snap into an IBM laptop, with an IBM cable...

Pinouts, pin swabbers, etc. all welcome.

Thanks,
