Sometimes those are so frrrrragile - >> ( take a peace of stripped naked cable, or a cut up metal paperclip or something and stick it into the corresponding scsi-cable connectorsocket, trim the length so that it will make contact just as the pin that was there before does - it is tricky to get the "replacements" the right length in correlation to each other - but once you fitted them all back together all the way down - it will stay. I ve done that several times - and yes HD needs some of the pins to work - a pc dude said that with fever connectors what will happen is that the speed will go down but it will still run - but I doubt that... I have learnt to remove the connector very smooth and straight and gentle. Good Luck. Kenta -- -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
