20 or 21 pin drive? Oct 25, 2019 15:41:36 GMT

Noob question here re hardware. Not really my thing.

I'm thinking about getting the Rhea or Phoebe board for one of my JP Saturns,

However I need to inspect the inside of the Saturn to see how many pins the CD drive has. (I think there are few other things to look for if it's a 20pin drive).

Where do I look in the Saturn to tell the difference? Is there an edge connector I need to look at?
