I guess that's question is there slack on the connecter cable. I can
only tilt the drive sled about 45 degrees out of the computer, I can
get at the screws in the sled at this angle, but if I remove the
screws will I get some play on the connecter cable? As I geeeently
pull I feel no give and I do not want to pull something out I can not
get back in. It seems the cable should have some extra length to
allow an easy change. Otherwise the whole bottom plastics would have
to be removed to get at the connecter, which does not seem logical/
