Pop an identical key off of each keyboard key (letter q for instance) and
see if they are exchangeable between keyboards. If they are, swap your old
keys over to the new keyboard, careful not to mix them up, and then
whichever new keys still haven't moved, those will need either a better

Correct. SATA is Serial, so 1:1 ratio. There is no such thing as
Master/Slave in SATA.

which isolate the data wires from one another to allow higher transfer
speeds and less cross talk. Cable select can still be used with 40 pin
