That's very curious.
It sounds like you changed the drive from slave to master - though "one 
set of pins to the right" depends on your viewpoint.

The internal HD on a Cube is set to master by 
default. Had you at some point changed that to slave (for example, to 
install a different OD)?

If, though, it had been master, and you changed it to slave, it is even 
curiouser. I've never heard of an external FW drive needing to be set to 
slave in order to work. But then, I've never used an OWC case.
