So a friend gave me a CDRW-DVD drive from an eMac that I thought I'd put in my Beige MT (Rom C) instead of the floppy drive. I see that the ribbon cable for the original CD drive has no second connector. Is it possible to use a two connector ribbon cable and hang the second drive on it in Master /Slave configuration.
I also have a space on the motherboard ata bus for drives. Can this CD drive funciton on that bus as a slave? In my parts drawer I see that I have one ribbon cable that fits and one with a blanked out hole that doesn't fit the CD drive. Why are these cables different? Is it 66 and 133 compatibility?
