Can't get this 2.5" scsi drive to fit the ribbon cable

I bought a 1gb microtech roadrunner 2.5" scsi drive but it does not appear to fit the internal scsi cable for my PowerBook 540c...looks like one pin receptacle on the cable is intentionally plugged and does not allow this drive to fit ?

That is one heck of a rare drive that you have there. Is it a true SCSI drive, or an IDE drive with a piggyback SCSI adapter?

Must be an IDE interface though the drive is labeled scsi. welovemacs.com informed me today that they mislabeled it and said they were sending the right one.
