[SATLUG] OT: Help needed to identify an old part

[Alan Lesmerises]

I was talking about a second connector _internally_.  If you notice on 
the front view, there is space below the existing floppy that's 
currently empty, and there are power & data connectors available to put 
in a second drive.

This would supply the 12/5v for the drive. And, of course, the little rectangle between the power switch and the top SCSI-1 connector is the SCSI ID switch with buttons top (touch up) and bottom (touch down). Except for the power connector that one looks like the one I (used to) have at home ... before one of my sons got SCSI happy(!).
