Hm.  I was of the impression that the connector on the 2940(?) was wider than 
the one on the external drive box,  but I also see that the two 2940s I have 
in my spares are using two different kinds of connectors -- one of those is 
definitely a "uw",  the other one is apparently not.  If necessary I can 
change out the one that's currently in the box for the one with the smaller 
(50-pin?) connector on it.

Since you jumped right in there,  I wasn't going to say anything about that 
on-list unless you chose to.  :-)

I'm looking forward to it,  since you nailed the drive pretty good.
