Can anyone be more specific for us neophytes as to the difference
between the Atapi connector on the mobo and the SCSI connector? In
other words, I pulled the Apple drive from an old Mac and replaced the
Atapi CD-ROM drive of the Starmax, reconnecting the same three
connecting wires/cables which had originally been attached to the old
Atapi drive to the Apple CD-ROM drive. What have I freed? Sorry, I'm
pretty "green" at this. It sounds like that the mobo connectors for
the Atapi and the SCSI drive are completely different?

As a bonus, if you get a SCSI CD-ROM drive, it will free up the Atapi
connector on your motherboard so you can put in a second IDE hard
drive.
