Yes, what you say makes sense. On the Flyer I've recently added a 3.5"
4.3gb HD as slave to my boot 2.5" 1.3gb HD (primary). Everything
was working fine before that. I will try cutting pin1 on the 4.3gb
cable but I was thinking of putting it on the secondary port with the
CD-ROM. Would they both then still work do you think?
