- Jeff...what I was really after was whether or not I can remove the
- original ribbon completely and replace it with another ribbon with all
- SCSI-II connectors, arranged such that it has one end long enough to reach
- the empty floppy bay - without having to worry whether or not the SCSI-II
- connectors (assuming the original ribbon has SCSI-I connectors) will
- interact properly with the built in controller.
