From article <2605@udccvax1.acs.udel.EDU:, by muzak@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (Stephen F Felicetti):
: I recently bought a 2nd internal drive (the A2010) for my 2000.  The
: installation required connecting a jumper on the motherboard which tells 
: the computer a 2nd drive is connected.  The jumper, however, was hidden
: underneath the ribbon cable which connects the drives to the motherboard,
: so I decided I should remove the ribbon cable from the board to facilitate
: the connection of the jumper.  Well, the ribbon cable connector proved
: somewhat difficult to remove (I WAS careful to pull it STRAIGHT off), and
: when it finally popped off, it took one of the pins off the motherboard 
: with it!  I looked in HORROR at the broken connector on the board and told
: myself I should NEVER have tried to remove the cable in the first place.

	Luckly enough, there's no reason to panic. The missing pin is 
actually just a key to make it so you can't accidently plug the cable 
in backwards. Just put everything back to gether with the second drive
installed, and you should be OK.
