I think it's called 1.8.  I need to issue actual ATA commands to the drive so an adapter 
that converts to USB is no good.

The Micro SATA has what looks like a standard data connector but the power connector is 9 
pin instead of 15 pin and has 5v and 3.3v on it.  The thing I've ordered for it is here:
