Has anyone got information on the connector details for a slot load drive (cdrw or dvdrw) as fitted to Apple imac G5 computers ? (may include others)

I have a UJ-845-C [slot load] drive with a push button for ejecting the cd/dvd on the bezel which I bought to use on the apple. BUT apple, of course, use a signal via the atapi cable to eject the disk using the F12 key.

I am attempting to find details of the rear connector so I can run a wire internally on the replacement drive to emulate the apple drive.

Anyone attempted this before ?
