There is a separate four pin set at the outside. If you bend one of
the pair most outside (the lower one would be easiest), the jumper
connection in the connector would be disabled and your drive would be
recognzised as a master (not as a slave which doesn't work).
Like this:
........................................ . .
........................................ . .x
Try bendin the one where I marked the x, that worked for me.
