- The extra cable sounds like the thin (4 or 5 leads?) wire that goes to
- the SCSI id select switch on an external case. If so, the cable should
- come out of the connector on the drive, and a resistor or jumper will have
- to replace it to give it SCSI id 0. In addition, if it came from an external
- drive, you'll need to make sure that the three flat multi-pin black resistors
- are in place just behind the larger of the two connectors, as these are the
- termination resistors required for an internal drive. I don't have the
- specifics of which pins, etc to set the SCSI id but I can get them if you
- don't get any better help (Email me).
