I have no idea what the cable looks like. I have a Dock 2 (3547-001).
Inside it has a bay for a cdrom or a hard drive. It has the stock caddy
attachment bar, just as inside my 760e.
My slim 720mb drive works fine and shows up without problem. I also
have two of the old 540mb and one 810mb drives from my 360. Same
attachment bar. All my drives work in the 360. The 540s and the 810
are too thick to fit in my 750e. They do however fit in the dock (Once the
locking bar on the drive is removed.) However they can be seen from the
docked 760e. The 2gig and 720mb drives can be seen.
