I have an APS Syquest drive and also find the fan somewhat noisy (in
other words, I can hear the fan over my IIci.  It could be quieter!).

It should be quite simple.  The mounting and the connectors for both
drives should be indentical.  You may need to see if there is a jumper
on the internal drive where the SCSI switch cable on the internal one
goes and move those jumpers over so that the internal one stays at ID 0.
