Hi
 I think that all of the 900 series used 44 pin edge
connectors instead of 50 pin. At least the SA925
uses the 44 pin connector. I have at least one of the
larger SA800's and it just has a different dash
number as I recall ( I used its control board and
spindle shaft on another drive that fit the box I had ).
