So you built the adapter mentioned on the webpage, and can't get it going?
The last picture show that the HDD are connected to a MOLEX plug, so its obviously draw power from outside the iPod...

yes i use outside power supply but it not working
first when i turn on power hdd still not spin. it will start spin when i turn on ipod. that mean the ipod start to control the hdd.
but i can't go to diskmode to restore ipod it can't read hdd.But when i use CF to 1.8" adapter it work fine.

and i am sure i put the cable right
