Normally, you can just ignore it. You still get the 'raw' bitstream on 
one pin of the interface connector, it's just that the drive tries to do 
a clock/data serparation assuming it's an FM stream at the standard rate 
and sends out the sepearated clock and data on 2 other pins. So just use 
the first, raw, data pin.
