I am not familiar with the Amilo, but I can tell you that if I look in
my dv8100cto, I don't 'see' a connector in the bay. When I sit it in
the bay and slide it towards the center wall of the dual drive area
that it does plug in and run fine.
You could pull the battery and power and use your finger to see if you
can feel such a connector.
