I'm not sure which "deal" you're referring to, but I'll guess...
There is one narrow (8-bit) 50-pin internal connector, and one wide
(16-bit) 68-pin connector internally. There is also a wide 68-pin
external connector. You will need a different external cable if you
currently have a narrow 50-pin external connector.
You can't have drives connected to all three connectors at the same
time -- you can only use two of the three simultaneously (else you
have the low byte terminated in three places).
