I installed a drive like this once a while back.  At first it didn't work.
I found that I needed to cut the trace on the third connection from the end.
I think it was the connection opposite number 3.  I used a thin piece of
scotch tape over the connection so that the cable wouldn't make contact.
Make sure it works before cutting anything.
