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). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
