I just tried to replace my Chinon SS drive in my SF354 with a Toshiba DD
drive.
I have to twist the ribbon cable to get it oriented correctly. It spun and
the led lit red. But I got the drive not repsonding alert box. I tried
desktop format, and _immediately_ got the disk is write protected alert.
  I saw no jumper that I could identify as such on the circut board in the
SF354.  What am I missing? What do I need to do to get it to work?
Also, can I just get a 34 pin ribbon cable with the approprate connectors to
fit the mirror-imaged port locations on the Toshiba? Where would I get such?
What would I call it to the salesperson?

Thank you!
