The easiest move is to take the entire DT motherboard and install it into the MT. In this way, you take the Rev. C motherboard with its Rev. 3 ROM. Give the DT the Rev. A motherboard and its Rev. 1 ROM from the MT. Both the DT and the MT have EIDE Bus 0 cables which supports only a Master drive (the EIDE Bus 1 cable supports two drives). In order to support a Slave drive on EIDE Bus 0, you will require a special cable which has two drive connectors. The solution is different for DT and MT machines, and it is very different for an AIO machine, which is also based on the same motherboard and major subsystems as the DT and MT. In the past, I have manufactured and sold these special cables for DT and MT systems. I will soon have these cables available for AIO systems. I presently have a few DT and MT cables available.
