Question about Creative X-Fi Fatality, power?

[NewShockerGuy]

I have the x-fi fatality with the live drive. I know the actual live drive has a power connector... however looking at the sound card there is a 4 pin connector that looks to be a place where I would plug in the 4pin mini molex (floppy connector)

I can plug a mini 4 pin power into the sound card but I have not powered anything on so I am not sure if the actual sound card requires a seperate source for power...

It shows nothing as far as power to the sound card via creative's site..

Just looking for insight.

Thanks,
-Nigel

Card doesn't need power. I believe that connection is proprietary, something Creative uses for... something. They have a tendency to leave random headers and such like that on all their hardware. I don't think half of them ever actually get used.

Yes it is the same cable one would use for a floppy drive. It is only required if one uses the external breakout box. If one just uses the sound card, no need to plug it in.
