Good point. I keep forgetting that the connector on the adapter is not
keyed until the next time that I use it, which is even less often than
I used to, since I now have a 2nd drive adapter.
Too bad, a key is one of those niceties that really don't cost anything
to include. I will have to try to remember to plug the appropriate hole
myself sometime.
